The Journey


I am blessed to have this lovely labrynth fifteen minutes from my home. Trees grow in the pathways. It is quiet there. I often see tiny yellow butterflies flittering in the grass and birds serenade me as I walk.


Today I walked the labrynth. It is a metaphor for the journey of life.


The center of the labrynth is where one sits and contemplates the journey inward. After focusing, meditating, praying or whatever you feel led to do in the center, one follows the path back out, hopefully leaving refreshed and renewed.

After hearing about the one Karen helped build, I would so love for us to build one. The one there at Cedarbrake is one of my all-time favorites. :)

What a neat place. I really enjoyed enlarging the pictures and seeing all the details and textures.

This is a very pretty labyrinth. I hope to make mine permanent this Lent.
