"Strawberry Cheesecake" Christmas ornament, stitched by mother, Nydia Goode

small stitches in time

radiate a mother's love

fills my home with cheer

Every year... I pull out the strawberry ornaments

that my mother gave me year after year,

until she was no longer here to do so.

I cherish them.

As well as all the other pieces of Christmas that she stitched for me over the years.

There is also a little black dog, that my dear friend's mother stitched for our little schipperke, decades ago.

They all come out for these long nights

and radiate such beauty to be found in a simple gesture

and stitch of love.

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • August 5, 2023

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.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • August 5, 2023

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!
