I often say,
“Children Never Walk a Labyrinth,
Children Always Run!”
The UofT Run Club also likes Running around my Christie Pits Park Labyrinth.

Today is World Labyrinth Day 2021.
My Friend and City of Labyrinths Volunteer Labyrinth Maker,
Sent me this photograph of my newly re-painted Labyrinth on the Wading Pool surface in Christie Pits Park in Toronto . . .
Thank you Steve !
Happy World Labyrinth Day everyone !
Many thanks Steve for showing me this !
I repainted the entire Christie Pits Park Wading Pool Labyrinth on the day before the current Stay-at-Home Order went into effect.
I painted one additional lane right around the water pump in the centre of the wading pool,
Expanding this into a 12 Lane Labyrinth.
Concentric Circle Arcs looking good in Deep Dark Blue !
Because I finished (re)painting it after dark,
This is the first time seeing anyone walk into the final 12th Labyrinth Lane before reaching and entering the centre !
Quite Grateful to see these images and time lapse video.
It shows how ugly it is right now,
because of how much the colours haves faded off my Labyrinth painted on the surface of the wading pool in Christie Pits Park in Toronto.
This suddenly bumps UP which of my Labyrinths will be re-painted first during my semi-regular Labyrinth Maintenance Rounds …
Christie Pits Park will soon gets it Labyrinth back,
Beautiful as ever, and with a slight redesign expansion to 12 Lanes !
As soon as I can find paint roller, enough blue paint, and time.
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.

I visited the Wading Pool in Christie Pits Park in Toronto the other night.
Unlike the kid in this photograph, I wasn’t wearing a Shark T-Shirt.
Had brought paint supplies with me to repaint the fading lines like the ones you can ( or cannot! ) see here.
Even after sunset, the surface was too wet to re-paint the lines.
I repainted in green wherever the recently added white caulking had interrupted the painted Labyrinth Lines and left at that for now.
Hopefully I can refresh the design in September . . .
Maybe I should wear a Striped shirt next time I’m out visiting any of my Wading Pool Labyrinths . . .
My Labyrinth in the wading pool in Christie Pits Park needs some TLC, Tender Labyrinth Care, by way of new tints of blue paint.
InshAllah, I’ll repaint once it’s warm enough, and dry enough, outside.
“Some days you don’t know the answers so you ask for guidance.
Two years ago I participated in a beautiful Labyrinth ceremony. It felt deeply spiritual. I felt connected.
I’m so searching for some of that calm and reassurance right now.
I’m hoping this maze will help me unwind the questions that sit on my soul.”
