Haiku My Heart ~ Simple Joy
JANUARY 17, 2020
harvesting these plants
is a task of simple joy
feeding heart and soul
is a task of simple joy
feeding heart and soul
My winter veggie garden is abundant in radishes, lettuces, borage, arugula, carrots, parsley, and thyme. The kale and cauliflower, however… are struggling a bit.
Just like life.
It is such a joy to harvest these gems and make a meal to nourish my body, mind and soul. I have such gratitude for being this close to the earth and all the gifts of life that grow in this abundant soil.

Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
