How to walk a labyrinth by sparrowlion

"I was ten in a cathedral in France, and I saw an intricate pattern on the floor, I had to step over prayer chairs to complete it."

How I did it: My father used to lead Art History-based tours to Europe, and I got to tag along on some of them. When we went to this cathedral, it was damp and musky inside, very cavernous. There were lots of illuminated books behind glass, as well. It made me feel like an explorer.
If I was to go again, I think it would help me remember being a kid--just delighting in all the places I found myself.

I think one of my favorite things about traveling is that when you return home, you realize just how much you missed it.

How I did it: I always wanted to try and walk a labyrinth and then I found out that there's one a kilometer from where I was staying as a student, so I went there and walked it! It was free, too. Unfortunately, it was in winter, so the shrubs it was made of were not very nice. Read how I did it…

    Forgot to mention: St. Paul’s by the Sea, in Ocean City, has a labyrinth which is only open on Wednesdays, and only during certain months. :-(

    Quite the walk 5 months ago

    I decided to just seize the moment and do it today! I went to an outdoor brick path labyrinth close to my house. It was calming and an altogether soothing experience with moment of emotional exposure. I’m going to count this goal as done but I know I will be walking other labyrinths in the future.

    The planning is complete 5 months ago

    Ive found a bunch of labyrinths close to my area on the net and I have the afternoon free. Yet, my stomach feels full of butterflies and I am trying to think of excuses not to go. This goal is starting to make me nervous…not sure why.

    HAHAHA 9 months ago

    I remember I did one with my dad when I was younger (in middle school? ‘00-’03?) and it took us FOREVER to figure it out, twice as long as the average. The fastest it took anyone for that particular maze was 15 minutes, and that was because it was a group of people working as a very effective (apparently) team. It’s certainly a good way to really get to spend some time with someone…it’s sort of like going on a road trip, only possibly more frustrating. Then again, if you’re not the type to be easily frustrated, it could be a good date or something like that.

    Uh-huh 12 months ago

    Wouldn’t you know, on the day that I got dismissed from my job, where there was a labyrinth on the roof? That was the day they closed the roof access for five weeks while they repair and landscape the green roof.

    Talk about your serendipity 12 months ago

    I recently discovered that the roof of my office building was extensively remodeled as a “green roof”...and while I haven’t been up there yet, I understand the centerpiece of the remodeling is a labyrinth.

    Of course, doing so has caused it to rain rather extensively since then… :-) ...but I will be paying a visit sometime soon.

    There is a slight problem with this. While there are numerous companies and organizations which share this building, I do not like my current job, and it concerns me some that I won’t be able to get into the proper mindset for walking the labyrinth in prayerful contemplation. Kind of like trying to have a moment of silent meditation while in the stands during the waning moments of a football game.

    Actual and online labyrinth version- YFK 15 months ago

    I’ve walked an actual version of this labyrinth at two different churches and online when I have the time. It has helped me to focus more clearly on my walk with the Lord, and I enjoy it’s visual style.
