"colLabyrinth" thanks
giving heart along this path
of leaves letting go
On Sunday, November 20, 2022,
my friend Isa invited me to join her and friends and community
to gather beneath the crisp, blue November sky in the Sebastopol, CA Square and create
a three-circuit Classical Labyrinth around a tree with its fallen leaves.
As we came together, one of the labyrinth creators, Ariana, came up with the name "ColLabyrinth."
This delighted us all and captured the spirit of our collaborations in making a community labyrinth together.
A day of giving thanks... sharing food... and dancing in the labyrinth

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!

it's time to let go like the manzanita bark beauty leads the way
gentle peace on Earth sun and moon shine on us all opening hearts to love
breathe in the cold air fire of the winter sun melts a frozen heart
