Twenty-Seven Turns Around the Sun
Mar 15, 2024

twenty-seven turns
around and around the sun
the moon smiles as well


These twenty-seven years have taken me places...
I could have never dreamed of.


Just today... I realized that the Santa Rosa design came through

the day after Pi Day.

3.14

The day after the golden mean.

It took me 27 years to make that connection!


All these years have created all sorts of connections around the world,

paths weaving in and out of time and place. And, people

continue to share their photos of the Santa Rosa Labyrinths they have made.

Their beauty and intention ripple outward...


Here are a few to share with you on this birthday that spun from my heart,

my fingers, and my curiosity

all these many years ago

of bending and turning,

of collaboration and sharing,

sparking creativity

in so many forms...


The first four photos are from Peter Clark from the UK. One drawn at the seaside. One painted in a prison.

The second set of four photos are from Ange Virgona, Australia. The first three, set in stone. The last mowed in a lawn.

And here in my backyard...

as changes continue to unfold,

as this labyrinth has been witness to all of these years...

Fruit trees now are being added,

micro-clover soon to be planted,

daffodils bugle the coming of spring on this 15th of March.

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!
