Thanks for stopping by, and blessings on your journey! "Unlike the maze, the labyrinth has no dead ends to confuse those who follow it. The labyrinth is unicursal, having one path leading into its center and out again. There is nothing to puzzle out, no decisions to make.... The ancient labyrinth’s many forms-round, square, octagonal, with varying internal patterns-were based on sacred geometry that articulated the intangible notion of eternity in architectural form.... The variety of sensations it provokes is as diverse as those who navigate it." --Judith Dupre, CHURCHES, 2001    
"Walking the labyrinth clears the mind and gives insights into the spiritual journey. It urges action. It calms people in the throes of life transitions. It helps them see their lives in the context of a path, a pilgrimage. They realize that they are not human beings on a spiritual path but spiritual beings on a human path." -- Lauren Artress, WALKING A SACRED PATH, 1995   
"Tension and self-absorbsion slid away from me as I walked...suddenly I found myself in the hub of the labyrinth and I wanted to stay forever. Utterly peaceful and deeply 'rinsed,' I sat in that extraordinary calm emptiness." -- labyrinth walker    "A sacred communion with God, peace and understanding unfolded--dancing in the silence and between the notes, my soul has been moved and opened to a new experience of wonder...thank you." -- labyrinth walker   
SOLVITUR AMBULANDO (It is solved by walking). -- Saint Augustine, fourth century
