Labyrinth News

Paul Soupiset [1] is keeping a journal [2] about the prayer labyrinth we're building at the back of our church property. We've roughly leveled the ground now, though we have a lot of dead grass to clear out. Paul's latest post [3] shows his ingenious way of laying out the labyrinth itself.

Our church [4] sits atop almost solid limestone. There are thousands and thousands of rocks out there. I think it is fitting to build the labyrinth out of native materials. We already use these rocks for landscaping and forming various paths through the woods and between buildings. This thing is going to be cool.

A few days ago [5] I mentioned the possibility of an open retreat for anyone in the world who could find a way to get a plane ticket here. I'll be talking to Tim and Paul about some details on this. I'm almost certain the labyrinth will be finished by then.

Stay tuned.

Note: The pictures at Paul's labyrinth journal look rather dreary. We're in Winter (or what we call Winter here). This Spring the land will be lush and green with wildflowers and all kinds of color.
