Many of my Labyrinths include canvas spaces at the turn-arounds for additional artwork. Often I create or paint smaller Labyrinths within the canvas spaces within the larger Labyrinth. Akin to the driving plot point in the movie Inception, Labyrinths within Labyrinths.

“In Toronto, Ontario, Canada we have several beautiful Labyrinths.

I was in a foot cast for four months (achilles) and would sometimes go to one and sit there with my foot stretched out in the walkways or walk slowly.

I then looked up Labyrinths in Toronto on google and discovered there was one near where I work lo and behold and I could not believe I had not noticed it.

So I went there.

It is the saddest most poorly painted one ever on very uneven ground and almost impossible to walk.

The lines are wavy and confusing.

I sat there on the little wall nearby staring at it for half an hour.

Seriously, what if someone did this search too and only came to this Labyrinth, from afar!!!!!

What if they made a trek.

However, it was also a compelling site.

Over several days,

I would sit for a bit and commune with the little Labyrinth.

It is right outside a subway station on a blvd and people just walk all over it going to other places.

There is a drain in the middle of it!!!

I came to love that little Labyrinth.

It is a Charlie Brown Labyrinth, the littlest unloved and small Labyrinth lol.

It is much smaller than it appears in the photo and the lanes are much smaller as well, almost too small for feet.

Around it are many people walking and cars and buses circling around it.

It is right outside a subway station and donut shop.

One day I got up and walked it and the peeps from the nearby donut shop sitting all around me on the wall stopped talking to each other and watched me in confusion.

“Will you look at her, she looks like she is going backwards” someone said.

The short story is that this is a powerful and sweet Labyrinth.

But no,

I would not suggest you come on by on a plane or train or even the subway to visit this little one but do please send it a large Hello.

xo ❤”
