Before you can enter the Labyrinth,
Someone has to make it.
So that someone is me,
Holding paint can and brush,
Looking serious and rocking my Kensington Labyrinth T-Shirt in Kensington Market,
While painting Labyrinths on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market in Downtown Toronto . . .
Here I am painting a Heart Labyrinth on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market using the unexpected colour of yellow rather than the expected colours of red or pink when it comes to matters, and Labyrinths, of the Heart.
However,
I did use Red/Pink coloured chalk to outline my Heart Labyrinth design, so maybe this Yellow Heart Labyrinth was really Red/Pink after all ?
Before I even finished painting the outer most line, a couple walked through all the way to the centre where they then stood and kissed each other.
Who needs mistletoe above your head when you have a Heart Labyrinth below your feet !
“No meu último final de semana nessa cidade maravilhosa conheci o Kensington Market.
Um local jovem, descolado, onde você pode encontrar de tudo: comida das mais diversas etnias, peixes, doces, pães, queijos e frios, roupas, flores, e, como não poderia deixar de ser, diversos espaços artísticos cheios de vida e muita música.
Toronto, uma cidade que sempre nos surpreende 🇨🇦”
… AND Labyrinths !
I painted five of them on Augusta Avenue along the east side of Bellevue Square Park on the first official Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
PSK was suspended during 2020 and 2021 due to the Pandemic.

Sometimes I include the word for Labyrinth in different languages within or around my Labyrinth designs.
Often in chalk,
Sometimes in paint.
Yet always spellchecked against this list in the back of my Labyrinth Designs notebook . . .
“Love is like the wind,
you can’t see it but you can feel it.”― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember
And by best,
Let’s assume she means enjoy the best Labyrinth…
Because, what else could it be ?

You are . . . Welcome ?
You are . . . welcome ?

When I first built my Vancouver Public Labyrinth,
I intentionally named it as such with a number of aspirations in doing so.
Today, one of those aspirations has been realized.
The Public has taken ownership of hosting an event at the Vancouver Public Labyrinth on World Labyrinth Day.
That Public being The Schoolless Olympic Village.
They have on occasion made use of the Vancouver Public Labyrinth as an outdoor open-air classroom.
You can see they made the effort in creating and posting this wonderful handmade + printed invitation:
“Today is World Labyrinth Day
🍥
Come and Walk the Labyrinth”
Vancity people walking along the Seawall between Habitat Island and the Cambie Bridge would have easily seen their invitation, and perhaps a number of them walked the Vancouver Public Labyrinth on World Labyrinth Day…
Thank You Schoolless Olympic Village for tweeting and sharing your photograph today!
Grateful to see it!
Thank you!

On World Labyrinth Day 2022,
Vancouver’s Uncool Asian Dad took his kids to the Vancouver Public Labyrinth for a Labyrinth Run !
And that’s pretty cool…
I wonder if Norm knows the difference between the Heart Labyrinth, which I painted in St. Andrew’s Playground in Downtown Toronto, and a Heart Maze, which it isn’t ?
This is so cool!
