Navarro River Ceremony Art Line

to the great above
and to all that is below
in all directions
In August of 2014, Marilyn Larson and I drove North to the mouth of Navarro River Redwoods State Park in Mendocino County. We went with the intention of returning stones, shells, feathers and sticks collected over the years to the Earth.
The mouth of the Navarro River is on the Art Line, the 39th north latitude. Our ceremony of return was also a blessing for the Art Line, and all involved, past, present, and future.
We created this beautiful alter and at one point, we were joined by a seagull! We walked a labyrinth in the sand, sang, shared our prayers with the Sky and the Earth, and marveled at the incredible beauty that held us.
Trolls No longer hiding under bridges or lurking, threateningly, online, but suddenly friendly. Now we encounter trolls lumbering in forests and meadows, beside our still-living lakes and streams. Sturdy as oak trees, they smile down, handing on their message of enough, of simple abundance piled up everywhere. by Leslie Schultz 1.18.2025
I give thanks for life to walk this earth with beauty this day and all days I was visited and blessed by our local flock of turkeys, about 30 of them in all their glory. Ted Andrew says: Blessings. Blessings and abundance are present. Your efforts will soon be rewarded. Rewards will be proportionate to your efforts.
In early August, we traveled from the hot and humid Minnesota prairie to the cool headland of Point Arena, California. It was the presence of the Point Arena Labyrinth that drew us there, and it did not disappoint.
