Description

Labyrinth in Summer: Carved into stone and sometimes built into the earth, labyrinths have long since been a metaphor for the soul’s journey through life…and beyond. Across cultures and religions, they are powerful archetypal symbols of the paths we take and of the reality of a creator who watches over our sometimes weary footsteps along the winding path to interconnection, wholeness, peace, wisdom, understanding, and love—in their purest and most powerful forms!

This labyrinth was built years ago by me and my boys, alongside other friends and some strangers. They were very little then. Of course, upon its completion, we could not have anticipated the ways in which our individual and collective paths would unfold. And the same can be said of everyone here.

Life is a series of winding turns and unforeseen changes in direction. It can, at times, be full of heavy and hurt and heartache and hard, but it is also incredibly beautiful and undeniably rewarding and heart-warming and love-affirming and all roads lead to where we are going, every choice and scar and stone and turn as well as every alleged roadblock. This is a symbol of that. It is a representation of pilgrimage, of our various individual and familial journeys, all leading up to this moment, as well as our current place on the path and the turns ahead we are yet to take.
