To my knowledge,

this is the first aerial drone image of my Vancouver Public Labyrinth.

Grateful to Jeremy Lee in Vancouver for sharing his drone image on Instagram.

His intention was to capture Habitat Island,

My Stone Labyrinth being in view was a bonus.

I rotated the Instagram image 90 degrees to reflect a true east-west orientation.

Incidentally,

The round cement circle you can see in Hinge Park is the location of my Green Masking Tape Labyrinth !

My Hinge Park Labyrinth has since become a Ghost Labyrinth with barely a walkable masking tape outline remaining at present.

You can still make out the path.

It follows where the grass grew tall around the rocks and stones which outline the Labyrinth . . .

Nature nurturing a Hedge Maze from within my Stone Labyrinth ?

Labyrinths in Islam – Traffic Island Labyrinth – Masjid Qiblatain – Madinah, Saudi Arabia – Tuesday May 31 2011

Today is Day 26 of Ramadan 2020.

This video is from my journey to Madinah, Saudi Arabia in May/June of 2011.

I was walking from my youth hostel to visit Masjid Qiblatain.

Masjid Qiblatain is known for having two Mihrabs, or Prayer Niches.

Originally,

Muslims had faced north west from Madinah towards Masjid Al Aqsa in Jerusalem when praying.

A time came when the Direction of Prayer, the Qibla, was turned south east towards Makkah.

Hence,

The Masjid with Two Qibla.

En route,

A traffic island in the distance somehow caught my curiosity.

Alhumdulillah,

A Triangle Topiary Hedge Labyrinth !

Discovering this was a HUGE moment for me.

Muslims in The Holy City of Madinah were also making Labyrinths !

Afterwards,

I found a a small playground near Masjid Qiblatain.

In that park,

I outlined a simple three lane Classic Labyrinth in the sand and walked it.

Turning north and south and east and west.

Not unlike the Turn in Congregational Prayer Direction from Jerusalem to Makkah in the Masjid I was about to enter and visit.

Grateful for this photograph.

It shows me two of the Pink lines are already peeling away, revealing the underlying painted Black design outline.

InshAllah,

I should be able to at least repaint these Pink lines asap.

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? 🙏 . . . . . . . . . . . . #gratitude #dailyjournal #gratitudejournal #grateful #universe #journaling #lifepath #lifelessons #empower #mistakes #regrets #lessonlearned #babysteps #labryinth #dankbarkeit #dankbarkeitsjournal #positivethinking #socialdistancing #selfquarantine #selfisolation #washyourhands #selfcare #stayhealthy #stayathome #gratitudechallenge #miigwetch #findingsilverlinings #followme

🙏

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.

These days, I might not be 200% certain each of my steps are perfect but at least each was my own decision.

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.
