It's autumnal Eqinox. Just walked a labyrinth! Something really ancient that had
me feeling close to the earth even though it was on cement and the sound of traffic almost erased the new age music playing in the background. I really love to do labyrinths. They have been found in almost every culture. Mazes that are so like life, with twists and turns and many roads that all lead to the same place. Here's a poem I wrote a few years ago after I walked one. JJ
Labyrinth Walk
The spiral the Sufi the Quail and You
Dervishes Dancing and Turning
Chorus:
Step step--step step and Whirl
Step step--step step and Whirl
Aya Away Aya Away
Said the Eagle come fly with me
Take a look at what I see.
Families turtles lizards and snakes
Trees in the shape of a girl
Angels and men and woman and child
Painting mandalas of light
(Chorus)
Enter the puzzle but walk without thought
For where or when you should go
It’s already laid out with the
Boundaries intact to relieve all the rights and the wrongs
(Chorus)
The path that you walk is of your own soul
You’ve known from beginning of time
No hunger or thirst ‘cause the
Treasure is found resting deep inside your own skin.
(Chorus)
Maiden and Man and Mother and Crone
Together as well as alone.
We enter the sunset and rise with the moon
Birthing god from the heart of her womb.
(Chorus)
