Today I am gifted with the task of laying out a labyrinth.  I wish I could figure out how to lay out a medieval labyrinth with rope, but it is a classical labyrinth that will be placed in rope for walking.  I’m presenting this idea to bus drivers–ooops, “coach” drivers who themselves drive a looping route each day.

Now the mind is a basic and valuable human instinct.  It compares constantly.  Is this what I want?  Yes or no?  Like before?  Will it happen again?  How can I prepare, avoid, get better?  We’ve designed computers like the brain originating from the very basic duality of yes or no, a line or a circle, black or white with infinite arrangements.

The labyrinth walk confuses the mind because there are no decisions needed.  One step at a time the body follows the path.  The mind gets a bit frustrated–am I going in or going out?  Am I closer or further away?  Haven’t I been here before?  Now what?  What am I supposed to compare here?

And then the heart gets to hold the reins of the body.  Like a stroll in the park, there is no where to go, but we keep on walking.  This is the symbol of my day, this time, my life–keep walking, and keep walking.
