A labyrinth is defined as "a complicated irregular network of passages or paths in which it is difficult to find one's way; a maze." I take that to mean the word, and not the structure.An actual labyrinth has one entrance - one way in and one way out. It could be construed as a metaphor for life - that you have only one path to follow. Except I don't believe that to be true. There are many paths one can take in life, but perhaps finding success on that one path means you need to stay the course.
The act of walking through the labyrinth is peaceful. I did so silently, alone with my thoughts. A walking meditation. As the circles shortened and grew tighter, I was more and more excited to reach the center. Once I did, I enjoyed this view, took it all in, and then began my retreat. By the time I exited the labyrinth, I had answers and energy.
Who would've guessed walking in a circle could be so productive...
