labyrinth day 6 - embrace the chaos.

its been a long day.  a great day.  a full day.

its the "go with the flow karma yoga retreat" this weekend.  people coming together to embrace the brilliant light of september,  practice yoga,  extract honey.

we worked on the cabin,  and extracted honey in the afternoon... followed by a well earnt walk of the labyrinth post dinner and a beautiful havan under ma luna.

so, sometimes we have expectations of what something spiritual is "supposed" to be like.   but if anyone has ever received a hug from Amma,  you know that sometimes the most sacred and spiritual events are complete chaos.  and that was what the labyrinth was today.

5 adults
4 dogs
1 four year old.

all running around,  fighting, wrestling, jumping, adults walking fast, adults walking slow.    it was wonderful.  there was just so much happening, and yet... we were all just on our own journeys.  one step at a time.

there was joy in the cacophony of movement.  there was a togetherness, although we were all walking alone.  it was a great day to simply embrace the chaos.
