The Labyrinth! – December 28, 2009

Posted on December 28, 2009November 1, 2010 by Rick

The Labyrinth
by: Ann McKirdy 09/16/2009

She opened to me
Welcome spirals of life
Each step marked by river stones
Random
Or perhaps not

My journey
My request
Harmony
Harmony
Harmony of body, mind and spirit

I carefully stepped into her
Tentative
Remembering instructions
Fear filling me –

I might get this wrong
Again
The thought comes –
I acknowledge it
Then I lean into it –

If I make a mistake –
It is ok –
The experience is not lost on me
I trust my feet

Arms open to the full embrace of the experience
Let it all into you

I know the way
My innate wisdom guides me
My instincts show me each guided step
I trust, I trust, I trust

In that surrender
Presence awakens me to the moment
The precious gift of now

I throw open the doors of my heart,
Raise my hands outstretched to the heavens
Let it all in –
Gratitude, filling me for the gift of this labyrinth
The gift of wind and sun, Mother Earth, and all her creatures

In that moment of deep gratitude
I am filled with joy
Forgiveness to all those who have harmed me
Through no mal intent, just simple ignorance

I say their names, one by one
I forgive you and set you free –
My soul soars
My spirit takes wings
I am one with all the universe
Angels and saints to witness
The purity of my cleansed heart –

Choose a stone, they said –
My eyes drawn to a beautiful blue rock – 
I picked it up, held close to my heart
Merged with the river stone of my offering
And joined both
Outward offering and inward gift
In the knowing
Of absolute truth-
That which I give out
I get back Abundantly

I CHOSE LOVE

Book O’ the Week

Teaching with Fire: Poetry That Sustains the Courage to Teach

by: Sam M. Intrator and Megan Scribner and Megan Scribner (Editors)

When reasoned argument fails, poetry helps us make sense of life. A few well-chosen images, the spinning together of words creates a way of seeing where we came from and lights up possibilities for where we might be going . . . . Dip in, read, and ponder; share with others. It’s inspiration in the very best sense.

Dear Hearts,

The poem above was written by Ann McKirdy immediately following a labyrinth walk that was part of our Heal Your Life training earlier this year. As simple as a labyrinth walk is, it can produce profound insights as you can easily see by Ann’s poem.

We will be holding our annual Labyrinth Walk and Vision-board workshop at our little ranchito, Rancho del Corazon, in north county San Diego again this year and you are all welcome to join us. Please see details in the right hand column.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Love and blessings,

Rick and Patricia
