Currently in progress,

I am painting a Labyrinth commissioned by the Chaplaincy at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Secondary School in Brampton, Ontario.

Parking Lot was agreed as the best candidate location for a Painted Labyrinth.

Available space for painting a Labyrinth was trapezoid/rectangular.

My final design was a Nine Lane Labyrinth plus two wings with spans of four additional lanes on either side.

Keeping the Concentric Circle arc design rather than using true 90 degree hard right angles will make for a funner and more flowing Labyrinth walking experience.

Plan for the day was to at least outline in paint my chalked design.

Retracing in paint a thin outline meant I need not worry about any rain which would wash away my chalk design outlining work.

Rain has been intermittent yet frequent enough this month to delay completion.

InshAllah, will finish painting it before the first snow.

Fifteen Grade 9 Students at Brampton’s Only All-Girls Catholic Secondary School walking my second Proof-of-Concept Chalk Labyrinth.

The width of the Labyrinth outlines were chalked/re-chalked in 3 inch widths, the same width as my go-to size when painting permanent Labyrinths using paint rollers.

This second Labyrinth Candidate Location works.


Because there is ample space on either side of my Nine Lane circular chalk design seen here,

Final design can include additional wing-like lanes afforded by the rectangular asphalt canvas space.

I’ve been approached by the Chaplaincy at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Secondary School in Brampton, Ontario to help them with locating and making a Labyrinth on their high school campus.

This seven lane Chalk Labyrinth was my quickly chalked Proof-of-Concept in one of our candidate spaces,

An asphalt service lane beside their athletic field . . .

Parking Lot seen in the background below is the better candidate location for a Labyrinth painted on asphalt.

Ergo,

A second Proof-of-Concept Chalk Labyrinth is needed to see if the Parking Lot works best.

This may be one the last photographs of my Labyrinth I painted in Robson Square, Downtown Vancouver.

The temporary car-free public space experiment has been made officially permanent.

Soon, the makeshift block long plaza will be redone with a final design.

Thank you City of Vancouver for NOT removing the Labyrinth I painted there.

It was walked by thousands of Vancouverites, enjoyed by thousands of Visitors.

So long Robson Square Labyrinth.

Circles of Space sharing 1 Minute of Silent Eye Contact beside my Robson Square Labyrinth in Downtown Vancouver . . .

” Surpresa e alegria ao encontrar assim ,do nada , um rapaz sentado segurando um guarda-chuvas no meio de uma praça fazendo um convite silencioso.

Eu entendi assim: – Vem, faça um contato visual por alguns minutos, em silêncio, pela PAZ. Assim foi, sentei na frente daquele estranho e por alguns momentos estivemos em contato.

Em momentos assim, o contato maior é com você mesmo. Uma reconexão poderosa.

Que bom que algumas pessoas investem seu tempo e seu amor em movimentos tão importantes e singelos como esse.

E você?

O que você tem feito pela paz?

Pode ser um pouquinho, aonde quer que você esteja.

Pratique.”
