It has been some time since I entered into this blog space. Life has had many twists and turns, and more are coming. In the midst of a record heat wave, I am learning how to do things differently. Aging, too, brings new challenges.
My beloved Labyrinth is no longer serviceable for me; some health limitations have prevented me from keeping it free of grass and weeds. I have abandoned my daily walk for prayer with this sacred space.
But not all is lost. I am in planning a painted labyrinth on my patio. It will likely be quite simple, but the invitation to prayer will continue by the newness of a space. There is much to be done to prepare and this hot weather isn't making it easy.
Likely, I will sketch out something in chalk and get myself acquainted with the new space. The next steps will be preparing the space by a good cleaning and rearrangement of somethings that now occupy space on the patio. In the fall, I hope to begin the process of painting for a more permanent labyrinth.
If you're reading this; thank you. Perhaps I can begin writing again. Peace!
