Kim Robinson - Misc. # 4

The other day in preperation for Spain, we were suppose set up and partake in this labyrinth. Unfortunately the day we had planned to set up the labyrinth was the beginning of this rainy weather we've been having and therefore the event had to be shut done because there just wasn't ebough time left in the school year to postpone it. Labyrinths originally have ties back to Acient Greece and are more often seen today as a sort of maze. ore often seen these days as a sort of maze. People walk on the paths of the labyrinth which curl back to each and evevtually you rach the center. They can be used as a physical form of prayer. I had done a labyrinth once before, but i was kind of excited to have the opprotunity to do it again.I wouldn't say that I've become more religious but rather more spiritual since the last time I walked a labyrinth. Its calming exerience if nothing else and gives a person time to slow down and collect their thoughts. I was excited that a labyrinth was coming to our school and people who have just a small example of what my summer will be like in Spain. Prayers do not always have to be in front a statue of Christ or in church kneeling before "the presence" of God. I wonder truly how many people at CNU have either done a labyrinth and how many have never even heard a labyrinth.I bet the differences are closer than we expect. And maybe we'd be surprised too that more have done than you think. It can be a very spiritual thing for those who are religious and now as I develop my own sense of my faith in a higher being, I wonder if doing a labyrinth now would be different than it was before????
