Labyrinth – an acrostic poem

Life itself is a labyrinth

Always moving along a continuous path

Be mindful as you take each step

Your heart leading the way over your head

Reflecting on your innermost thoughts

Imagining the way your world could be

Noting and acknowledging thoughts that disturb your balance and setting them free

Trust the path before you

Happiness awaits….

I recently got the opportunity to walk the blueprint (whiteprint in this case) of a labyrinth that is to be laid out locally to me. In fact, it’s the one in the photo above and details of the project can be found on Facebook ( Inverclyde Labyrinth ( Walking as one) | Facebook )

Let’s dispel a myth, labyrinths are not mazes.

Labyrinths are a single continuous path that leads to the centre or heart of the labyrinth itself. There’s one way in and one way out. These are peaceful places to be used for walking meditation or a moment of self-reflection and have been proven to calm anxieties and help restore balance to your wellbeing.

Don’t believe me – find one local to you and try it for yourself. I look forward to walking this one on a regular basis once its been completed.

Six months on…..

Six months ago today the British Prime Minister put the country into a state of Lockdown due to COVID 19……

I could go on a rant about the affect that has had on life, the adverse impact it’s had on friendships, the detrimental affects on wellbeing etc etc but I won’t.

What’s the point? It doesn’t change where we are.

Throughout those ten initial long weeks of isolation Boy Child and I regularly walked to the nearby beach at Lunderston Bay during our hour of authorised exercise time.

It’s a path we’ve travelled many many times over the past six months.

Late this afternoon we walked there again.

I wonder how many more times we’ll take that walk before the world returns to being a safer place?
