Walking the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey of life. When you walk you are never quite sure where you are on your journey and you have to just trust that if you put one foot in front of the other you will get where you need to be. This is always a reminder to me to trust the universe, particularly when I don't quite know where I am going. So, yesterday evening after the wonderful gathering finished, I decided I would walk the labyrinth and collect the lights. I took a basket with me and gathered the lights in the basket as I walked the circuits. Halfway through the walk I sensed the magic of carrying a basket of light with me. The lights seemed to represent the wonderful people I meet on my journey of life, and made me so grateful to all those whose paths have crossed mine.
We give-away our thanks to the earth which gives us our home.
We give-away our thanks to the rivers and lakes which give-away their water.
We give-away our thanks to the trees which give-away fruit and nuts.
We give-away our thanks to the wind which brings rain to water the plants.
We give-away our thanks to the sun who gives-away warmth and light.
All beings on earth: the trees, the animals, the wind and the rivers
give-away to one another so all is in balance.
We give-away our promise to begin to learn how to stay in balance with all the earth.

The full moon - a time to release that which no longer serves you on your journey - and the equinox - allowing you to come back into balance. A magical evening.
