A Labyrinth For A Dear Friend, Maybe.

Here is a classic!

Well, I don’t even know if she needs help but if she ever did we would be ready. Right now we don’t have much to work with but we have enthusiasm and we know how to work a shovel.

And of course someone else may need help also. Labyrinths may be the next big deal springing up hither and yon. Wouldn’t that be great to see. Of course they are not as exciting as devices with screens. Maybe they would be a good alternative. Or time spent in that form of contemplation would be a good alternative to the time spent on our gadgets.

As I understand it the labyrinth was an invention to give a person an idea of what a pilgrimage would be like. I really have to stretch my imagination to come up with that but yes there is something there. I will work on expanding that for myself and for us.

And who knows maybe we could come up with some innovations in what a labyrinth looks like. Maybe there are other forms or ways to do it. We could maybe reinvent the wheel on this one. It has been known to happen.

Look, I have to go as my battery is almost gone here at the hospital. I want to complete this and get it on the wire.
Thanks for stopping by. Maybe you could write to me about any ideas you have in this area.

Thanks for stopping by loves, Felipe.

  1. Phil, I think you have something there. I was told on the Via Francegina last year that the labyrinth is a symbol of the pilgrimage to Rome, like the scallop shell on the Camino. There’s a labyrinth carved on the entrance to the cathedral in Lucca and probably other places that I failed to notice along the Via.
    Best, Dave.

    1. Dave ~ always good to hear from you. The whole labyrinth/pilgrimage connection is getting really interesting. More to come. When are you going to be up again? Felipe.

  2. My dream has been to create a labyrinth in my big, overgrown garden in France and invite others to come and walk with me or on their own. I’d love it if you and Your Rebecca could come over next July and help out. Could I tempt you with the Way of St. Martin, a pilgrimage that is dear to my heart, as is St. Martin? He is everywhere in my new neighborhood https://www.coe.int/en/web/cultural-routes/the-saint-martin-of-tours-route, but of course, we’d only cover those nearby. He is one of the reasons I walked the camino in 2014 – he had been influencing my life for many years already but then I found a brochure from the Basilica of St. Martin of Tours that I picked up on my first visit in 2002 and it said on the front, ‘Pilgrim, you are not here by chance!’ Still gives me goosebumps.
    Alperfect love to you and yours,
    Mary Margaret

    1. Goosebumps it is Mary Margaret! There is an idea hat has been proposed to have a gathering here at the ranch of the Caminoheads family this summer. We are just starting the planning. Think about that also. Felipe.x

  3. Hola, Phil! En la Patagonia Argentina vivo cerca de uno que fue un sueño de alguien que tardó 20 años en diseñarlo y que crezcan los arbustos. Es una experiencia maravillosa. Espero que algún día puedas conocerlo. Un abrazo!!!
