On a recent glorious Friday morning, our women's wellness group gathered to walk the Roots & Wings Labyrinth. We did this in such a beautifully unhurried contemplative way -- See photo below.
Later
that same day, I was inspired to do some
weeding and path-mulching , when at least 5 young neighborhood kids zoomed down
Ramah Lane on their bikes, and called across ,asking to ‘walk’ the labyrinth
(they were introduced to it by one of their mothers before).
They did it their way with
such joie de vivre and spontaneity, running fast follow-the-leader style most
of the time, heads held high, hair streaming, and high-fiving each other
without stopping when passing in opposite directions, with at least a two of
them doing a few cartwheels as they made their way to the center. There
they all sat down on the grass in a circle, heads bent towards each
other. Then they came running across to me, asking to make a phone call
to a parent...
I wish I had had a video camera!!
Perhaps they caught
some of our vibes from the morning! It was certainly a beautiful reminder of the
many ways one can “walk” the labyrinth.
The Roots & Wings Labyrinth is open year round, weather permitting, for individual walks at your leisure during daylight hours.
