Derek's Christmas Visit
We thought that we were going to be alone for Christmas, but Derek wanted to come down and that was so great to have some family with us. We have been missing family a lot lately and really needed this! We had such a nice weekend. We watched a lot of great movies, ate healthy food, went to church on Sunday, got out a couple of times, but mostly just relaxed all weekend. Thanks so much Derek for driving down to spend Christmas with us! 🎄🎅
"Labyrinths are often mistaken for a maze, however, unlike a maze, a labyrinth is an ancient symbol that has long been used as a meditation and prayer tool. According to the University of New Hampshire web site, a maze is designed to confuse the user. It typically represents a problem to be solved. Like a riddle for the left-brain to sort out in a logical, sequential way. However, a labyrinth is meant to be “one circuitous path to the center and out again.” There are no dead ends. There is no need to turn about and retrace your steps. At least not until you have reached the center. Then the user turns to exit the same way they came in.
It is a good idea to pause at the entrance of the labyrinth. Take a deep breath. Reflect. Make a prayer, or mentally (or audibly) determine the purpose for the walk you are about to take. Then, just let go.
Walking a single line path offers the user a chance to quiet the mind, remove distraction and resolve inner discomfort. The walk through Kayenta labyrinth and others can represent a spiritual journey. Or it can simply be a way to get you back on track."
