Labyrinth

Not to be confused with a maze, there is one way in and one way out of a labyrinth. Its purpose is not to be overly challenging, but when walked reflectively we find our perspective constantly and gently changing.  Our vision and physical bodies are never facing the same direction for long.  

The journey, a spiral with numerous turns is designed to take us to the core, the source, the centre of our being. This ancient symbol of the journey ‘in’ and the journey ‘out’, is a perfect metaphor for the unexpected opportunity of winter. 

To withdraw from the world for a time.
To take time, slow time, with our thoughts.
To close in and be comforted.
To reconnect with things of genuine importance… to our soul.
