The Lavender Labyrinth in Kastellaun.
I could have been poetic and quote Keats...:
"How to entangle, trammel up and snare
Your soul in mine, and labyrinth you there
Like the hid scent in an unbudded rose?"
Or I could have been meditative and quote this:
"A labyrinth has only one path. It is unicursal. The way in is the way out. There are no blind alleys. The path leads you on a circuitous path to the center and out again.
A labyrinth is a right brain task. It involves intuition, creativity, and imagery. With a maze many choices must be made and an active mind is needed to solve the problem of finding the center. With a labyrinth there is only one choice to be made. The choice is to enter or not. A more passive, receptive mindset is needed. The choice is whether or not to walk a spiritual path. "
Or I could have been historical:
"Labyrinths have been known to the human race for over 3,500 years, conjuring up such images as the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur. They have been used in many different religious ways by many peoples, and as solar and lunar calendars. In Arizona and the American Southwest the Hopi use a form of the labyrinth in their religious symbolism, and the Tohono O'odham "Man in the Maze" is actually a "seven-circuit" labyrinth and is part of an elaborate creation myth.
The oldest existing Christian labyrinth is probably the one in the fourth-century basilica of Reparatus, Orleansville, Algeria. And while Christians used labyrinths on pre-Christian sites and modeled their own after ones used by earlier cultures, the development of the high medieval Christian seven circuit labyrinth was a breakthrough in design. Its path of seven circles was cruciform (shaped like the Cross) and thus incorporated the central Christian symbol. Use of these labyrinths flourished in Europe throughout the eleventh and twelfth centuries and beyond, especially in the French cathedrals of Chartres, Sens, Poitiers, Bayeaux, Amiens and Rheims and in the Italian cathedrals at Lucca and San Maria-di-Trastavere in Rome."

Performers in The Venus Labyrinth, a performance-installation in which 28 rooms, each representing one of the 28 known areas of the human brain, are occupied by one woman. The audience member enters the labyrinth alone and then, dependent on which object they choose from a selection before them, embarks upon a completely unique journey, travelling deeper into the building, but also deeper into their own mind and memories than they may have been before.

Members of the EDGE Residential College faculty and students in that college were on hand to dedicate a labyrinth behind State Hall on Thursday. The labyrinth was a service project that was suggested by the students as an improvement behind the hall as well as an area of meditation and reflection. To uphold ages-old tradition, the labyrinth was dedicated by song as the performer walked the labyrinth.
There are, to be sure, more than one way through, some are short and some are long, but they all end up the same place, much like the saying that, ”All roads lead to Rome.”
The labyrinth of life ends in death and one will find upon reaching that destination, that it was in fact the traveling through that was the part, where one got to choose ones own way, or destiny so to speak.
If you have chosen a wrong path through the labyrinth of life, you need to ask yourself if it is better to go back through the labyrinth, untangling the tread you have woven, than it is to spin along the wrong way, all the way to the bitter end?
Redemption, may be raised by religion but was born in the sphere of hearts. Yet when claimed that it is never too late, it is the heartfelt honest truth.
This Labyrinth has been cut on the hillside on the coast path between Looe & Seaton.
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools.
A labyrinth is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience. We can walk it. It is a metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to "That Which Is Within."
Labyrinths and mazes have often been confused. When most people hear of a labyrinth they think of a maze. A labyrinth is not a maze. A maze is like a puzzle to be solved. It has twists, turns, and blind alleys. It is a left brain task that requires logical, sequential, analytical activity to find the correct path into the maze and out.
A labyrinth has only one path. It is unicursal. The way in is the way out. There are no blind alleys. The path leads you on a circuitous path to the center and out again.
A labyrinth is a right brain task. It involves intuition, creativity, and imagery. With a maze many choices must be made and an active mind is needed to solve the problem of finding the center. With a labyrinth there is only one choice to be made. The choice is to enter or not. A more passive, receptive mindset is needed. The choice is whether or not to walk a spiritual path.
At its most basic level the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to the center of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are.

Fine silver and dichroic glass pendant on a sterling silver chain. The pendant is comprised of several small squares and rectangles of fine silver, each with a different pattern, fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, then fused and oxidized.
Start your labyrinth with a center circle, a small stake, and string or rope. You will eventually have a row of stones coming down from the middle of your first circle.

Bei dem vorliegenden Exemplar handelt es sich um ein 6x30 Modell des Deutschen Herstellers Voigtländer. Das Glas weist eine besondere Konstruktion des Aluminium-Körpers auf, wonach die Gelenkarme und die jeweiligen Hälften des Körpers aus einem Gussstück bestehen. Die andere Hälfte ist seitlich angeschraubt, so dass dadurch eine umlaufende Naht gebildet wird, die sogenannte „Labyrinth-Dichtung“. Die Augenmuscheln bestehen aus braunrotem Bakelit. V.B. steht vermutlich für „Voigtländer Braunschweig“.
Die Seriennummer lautet 113096.

ENGLISH VERSION
This example is about a 6x30 model of the German manufacturer Voigtländer. The binocular exhibits a special design of the aluminum body according to which die bridge arms and each halves of the body consist of one cast. The other half is screwed sidewise which results in a circumferential seam, the so called "Labyrinth-Dichtung" (labyrinth sealing). The eye cups are made from red brown bakelite. V.B. most likely is the abbreviation for "Voigtländer Braunschweig".
The serial number reads 113096.

The Hofstra Labyrinth is adapted from the world renown labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral, France, circa 1200 of the Common Era. By tradition, labyrinths are considered symbols of spiritual and intellectual enlightenment, paths walked from periphery to center as metaphors for the journeys in life from sickness to health, despair to promise, ignorance to knowledge. Visitors walked the labyrinth as a token of their pilgrimage obligations during the period of the Crusades of the Middle Ages.
Visitors to the Hofstra Labyrinth are encouraged to walk its path slowly, which will take them always to the center roseate pattern. Walking the path requires a focus of self in time and space and provides an opportunity for personal freedom from the distractions of daily life. Standing quietly in the center's rose represents a victory at the end of a journey, a passage meaningfully taken by many over the centuries.
The Hofstra Labyrinth, located in front of the C.V. Starr Building on California Avenue on Hofstra's South Campus, is constructed of 2 and 1/4 inch thick granite slabs installed over a concrete pad. It is permanent and will last longer than the adjacent buildings!"
