My furry, little friend, Wild Rose is taking time to smell the roses :)) No thorns just lots of kisses!

Of New England in June
        I remember...

Pink roses cascading the old gray wall
As streams of shimmering sunlight
Dance among the silver birches
And meadows of white daises
Wave in the gentle breeze.

From the stone-fenced rolling pasture
To the twilight night in the deep wood 
Where fireflies with fairy lanterns
Shine their silver light

Among this primrose scented starry night
In stillness I listen to the crickets serenade
All the while embracing the soul of June.

Patty Meyer taught me how to make Lavender Wands. I attached one to the visor of my car... it provides me a beautiful reminder of summer with the scent of lavender every time I give it a wee little squeeze. Patty and Helmut created the Redsun Labyrinth located in a large field near the Bitterroot Mountains just outside Victor, Montana. www.redsunlabyrinth.com

This labyrinth pattern with its flower petal center emanates female and male energy balance. I feel very connected to its energy and drawn to create "Wild Rose Labyrinth" with this pattern on our Colorado property. The original 800 year-old pattern for this eleven circuit labyrinth is in Chartres Cathedral in France. I love that there is no right or wrong way to walk a labyrinth; one simply does what feels natural knowing its path is a metaphor for life with its intention being to help on this spiritual journey.

"Remember, every creative genius in history was a person pursuing the activity that they loved the most. Composers like Mozart and Beethoven, artists like Rembrandt and Monet, scientists like Einstein and Galileo are all icons of dedicated creativity. They were all totally absorbed in work that they loved.

Let service to others through work that you love become your greatest inspiration, and let it produce your greatest accomplishments in Life." –Owen Waters
