This Saturday, May 4, is World Labyrinth Day. In celebration of the occasion, I
thought I'd share this piece of art that I created for a friend some years ago.
It's called Saint
Catherine's Labyrinth, and the words along the path are from Saint
Catherine of Siena. And of course a blessing for the day as well:
Walking
Blessing
That
each step
may be a shedding.
That you will let yourself
become lost.
That when it looks
like you're going backwards
you may be making progress.
That progress is not the goal anyway,
but presence
to the feel of the path on your skin,
to the way it reshapes you
in each place it makes contact,
to the way you cannot see it
until the moment you have stepped out.
may be a shedding.

Happy
World Labyrinth Day to you, and blessings on your path!
