Earlier during this Pandemic Year,
My Friend and Brother in Islam, Jeremy, Direct Messaged a photograph of himself standing inside The Centre of Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
Today,
Jeremy messaged me a photograph of the Orange Labyrinth I painted on what I call Labyrinth Pier . . .
My Orange Labyrinth Design is fading in places yet it remains walkable if you look closely and walk mindfully.
Mushrooms sprouting in the Vancouver Public Labyrinth ?
Unexpected !
Skateboarding my pass-through Labyrinth in the Trinity-Bellwoods Park Labyrinth Boardwalk . . . ?
Black and White of my now long gone Labyrinth in the Wading Pool that was removed from Bellevue Square Park in Kensington Market, Downtown Toronto
The yellow colour of the concentric circles are already beginning to fade.
Do I repaint the fading Labyrinth arcs now or wait until Spring 2021 ?
Sunday Labyrinth Walking in the Vancouver Public Labyrinth . . .
Grateful to see this photograph,
That’s me (re)painting the Grange Park Labyrinth . . .
My recently repainted Labyrinth below the Humber Bay Arch Bridge in Toronto . . .
“Today the City of Toronto removed our Labyrinth as “graffiti” while leaving the actual graffiti on the benches and park furniture alone.
Every year they do this.
This year,
When this is my kid’s post-school calm down space,
It’s particularly frustrating.
Why can’t we have community art?
Luckily I know it will come back next summer.
It always seems to show up,
Magically in the night,
Until The City destroys it again.”
THAT’S ENOUGH THOUGHTFUL CONTEMPLATION, TORONTO, NOW GET BACK TO WORK

Removing the labyrinth, eliminating nearly all garbage cans, driving trucks over the grass, ignoring drainage issues… The park could use better caretakers.

From this side of Kensington Avenue looking towards Courage My Love,
My Heart Labyrinth looks upside down.
Next time I paint the Heart Labyrinth here,
I’ll paint it right side up . . .
My Labyrinth in the Wading Pool in Christie Pits Park will no longer be filled with water this season.
This past weekend,
The Water Pump was shut off officially for this year.
The Wading Pool Labyrinth is now a full time Labyrinth until next Summer.
I usually visit it before and after Wading Pool Season to see what needs to be repainted.
This year,
I visited it once in late July and painted the broken arcs that had white caulking cement pasted over them.
Hopefully I will visit it once more before winter proper arrives to repaint whatever needs refreshing.
The Larger Idea is to paint over my decade-plus old existing Labyrinth design.
I could then paint an entirely NEW Labyrinth Design.
Maybe.
