The paint has faded on the White Pass-Through Labyrinth on Labyrinth Pier Vancouver.
With the Pandemic,
I don’t know when I will return to Vancouver to repaint all the Labyrinths that comprise Labyrinth Pier Vancouver.
Yet,
Hopefully enough of this Labyrinth outline remains for it to still be walkable . . .
Hand drawn map of Earlscourt Park in Toronto.
This map includes the 16 Lane Labyrinth Steve and I painted there in the Wading Pool during Spring 2016.
Surprised and Grateful to see it mapped this way.
Yay !
Reminds me of my friend Marlena Zuber‘s famous maps of Toronto
It’s overdue that I get around to creating a map of where all the Labyrinths in my “City of Labyrinths” are !
That’s very cool. I went for a walk this morning before the mist and chill settled on the city.

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.
YES ! https://t.co/wYvUEmOGKv
Happy #WorldLabyrinthDay 2020 !

“See this as a maze,
Water hole on sacred pause,
Non amenity.”
Standing atop the Orange Labyrinth on Labyrinth Pier Vancouver . . .
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?
🙏”
Was waiting for temperatures to warm up before refreshing my Labyrinth opposite Christie Subway Station.
Now waiting until it’s prudent to stop social isolating to head out with paint and brush.
Still, happy to see someone walking the Labyrinth in midst of the pandemic . . .
A different perspective on my most recent Labyrinth.
My choice of red-pink-orange-beige paints feels right.
Grateful I skipped using blue, green, and other darker colours.
