“See this as a maze,
Water hole on sacred pause,
Non amenity.”

It seemed dumb and arbitrary, but probably technically correct. At least it gave the three guys something to do. They mostly stand around in the middle of an empty field in a huddle.

Here are Toronto bylaw officers at Christie Pits having trouble maintaining social distance while ticketing persons using a park bench, which was not cordoned off, in an open park, while public health officials tell us of the importance of exercise and fresh air #COVID19 #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/NZWsIpioxi

Labyrinth I painted on Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market, Downtown Toronto.
I imagine this photograph was captured before Physical Distancing went into effect due to the Pandemic Lockdown.
If you walk it, do so one person at a time, that’s the only way to guarantee enough space between people . . .
In the bottom left corner of this photograph,
You can spot a cyclist walking her bike atop my Robson Square Labyrinth . . .
Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of Vancouverites & Vancouver visitors enjoyed & explored or eyed the Robson Square Labyrinth while it was there.
It’s gone now.
The temporary Public Space that was 800 Robson Street, is being transformed into 800 Robson Plaza . . .
“Day 15 of my Gratitude journal:
🙏
Today I am grateful for my path in life.
It’s been full of twists and turns with many unexpected changes and circumstances.
🙏
Of the millions of steps I’ve taken to reach this point of my life, I can’t say I loved every step of the way.
Some were painful.
Some were frightening. Some were easy, breezy.
Some were forgotten.
Despite the fact that I have my collection of regrets, not all of them were meaningless.
If not for some missteps, I would not have gathered valuable life lessons and experiences.
🙏
I don’t think I could’ve ever conjured up the current life I live, as I wasn’t one with lots of plans and dreams.
Mainly, many others have projected what they thought my life should look like, onto me.
Early on, I tried to fulfill those unrealistic lifestyles to make them happy, to seek their approval.
Sadly for them, I couldn’t make them happy.
In return, I also wasn’t happy.
🙏
These days, I might not be 200% certain each of my steps are perfect but at least each was my own decision.
Mistakes are part of life.
Most often than not, we don’t realize if a step was a mistake or a victory until we’re past it and further down the road.
However, we’d never know if we don’t take that step. We can start small, each baby step still counts.
This is empowerment.
This is life worth living.
🙏
Let’s start giving gratitude to what we have each day!
This will help us think more positively in challenging times like right now.
🙏
What are you grateful for?
🙏”
During this Pandemic, dogs still have to be walked.
