Notes From the Interior
The Labyrinth
The first turn
passing between rough stones
Someone laid bare stones in a pattern
Someone brought them to this garden
and laid down this foundation-
statues
water
fountain
stillness.
I remember dancing with Rudy Perez
to the Brandenberg Concertos
Running in groups
from circle
to designated circle
like birds we leapt from perch to perch
all attired in jeans and cheap sneakers
red and blue with stripes, from Woolworths.
The dancers making soaring motions
with their arms
and a small comical leap at the end.
I feel that dance still alive somewhere
in my body
Down somewhere near the foundations
In my labyrinthine brain
In my tunneled heart
rounding the next corner
Finding places to pause and to listen.
Time out to touch a tree or a stone
I see out of the edge of my eye
the house’s corner.
My grandmother Julia’s
green house on another corner in Kane
is still lodged in some sulcus of my brain.
A corner turned and left in the past --
Her tall fir trees edging the house
forming tunnels
where we as small children
nestled near the foundations of her house.
There wasn’t any motive or reason.
Time called us into the yard to run to leap and to search.
We were content, out on the edges of time.
Timeless time and we didn’t know that we were there.
Julia, dead and gone since ‘74 or ‘75
Vaughn and the house gone
or passed into different hands.
Different stones.
Turn and pass.
Still point in the fluid pathways
of the brain. The still point that holds,
pauses
and then everything resumes its motion.
Something in our making,
Our very construction
Something seeks the circle and its center
“God’s place”
or so we say
So we call it.
Searching for something
In winter
In summer
In a garden
Beyond the hills and tree
Way beyond here.
We know what we’re looking for.
We feel it in our spiralled cells.

Labyrinth Canyon is accessed by boat near the SW end of Lake Powell. The water slot eventually narrows to the point where the boat has to be tied / anchored / beached, then it's a 50m swim through the slot to dry canyon floor (ref. WL 3635 ft.). There are three major slots to explore in Labyrinth, all worth the investment of a few hours' time.
Labyrinth Peak in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Washington State. We decided to skip the mountaineer trail and create our own path along the ridge.

I've been reading Larry's Party by Carol Shields, and the central image of mazes and labyrinths has been resonating with me.
Every culture on earth, from Aborigines to Native Americans to ancient Greeks uses the symbol of the labyrinth for some kind of spiritual journey - it was hugely popular in Medieval Europe as a symbol of the journey from birth to god.
But at the moment, this is what depression feels like, this endless trip, spiralling in on myself, retreading the same ground, the same arguments, the same circular thoughts whirring round and round, endlessly, recursively. Is it a journey in, or a journey out?
As part of the London Underground 150th anniversary celebrations, Mark Wallinger's Labyrinth is a new artwork being installed at stations across the tube network. Each of the 270 stations is receiving its own unique labyrinth. No. 168 is at Tottenham Hale.

sterling silver and rutilated quartz
unwind your ball of twine, construct your waxen wings, take one step and then another, wending the ancient path that many have taken before you.
beware the minotaur, beware the goblin king!
around and around,
around and around.......
Have had so many insights from labyrinths, one of which is - you never know when you've crossed the halfway point to your life. That's especially moving and sad to me right now in light of the recent shootings of those sweet children as well as innocent adults in Sandy Hook Elementary, New Town CT. How can age 3 be the halfway point? Simply tragic.

The Labyrinth is a revised 7-fold design that is unique to the Farm, with 4’ wide paths leading into a center circle that is 20’ in diameter. The entire Labyrinth is 84’ across and 5,540 square feet in area. It is currently constructed out of grass paths, and will be created out of stone curbing to delineate the paths, which will remain in grass.
The Labyrinth is a useful place for personal meditation, celebration and group ritual. It is available for individual walks whenever not in use by a ritual group or being maintained. Solar lights allow for nighttime walks as well
multidimensional, weaving together the physical, emotional, and spiritual.
As a mandala, the spiraling image of the labyrinth is quite compelling and draws people to it.
Based on the circle and spiral, the labyrinth is an ancient and powerful symbol of wholeness and a tool for transformation.
To create earth labyrinths as sacred landscapes for environmental awareness,
healing, reverence, and caring for the earth.
To nurture creative imagination intuition, beauty, wholeness, connection, and
.healing
magical maze - take a few deep breaths, invoke your deity of choice, empty your mind and start walking.
