Hmmm . . .
Being a Labyrinth Maker and Being Anti-Maze, almost all my Labyrinths have a Heart in the centre.
Defining difference between a Labyrinth and a Maze, is that a Labyrinth is unicursal meaning there is only one single path from entrance to arrival in The Centre, whereas a Maze will have at least one dead end.
Navigating Feelings of the Heart in a Labyrinth is different than navigating feelings of the Heart in a maze.
Intriguing Question.
I used reflective paint for the yellow and red concentric circle arcs in my Robson Square Labyrinth, but non-reflective paint for the blue and the green.
Something for me to consider next time I paint a Labyrinth with nighttime lighting.
First few moments of this video wonderfully capture my Robson Square Labyrinth in Downtown Vancouver . . .
Made it to the Centre!
Heart of the Labyrinth!
All smiles, Yay!
Made it to the Centre! Again!
Heart of the Labyrinth!
Still smiling, Yay!
Jumping on the Heart at the Beginning of the Labyrinth . . .
Little One wearing a dress full of colourful hearts standing on the Heart I painted at the entrance of my Robson Square Labyrinth!
All her hearts match the colours of the Labyrinth!
Red Hearts, Blue Hearts, Green Hearts, Yellow Hearts!
Sometimes it feels like there are more than one path, or one road, inside a Labyrinth; until you reach the Heart of Labyrinth, its Centre…
The second image in this Instagram post wonderfully captures the moment of contemplation before one enters my Robson Square Labyrinth…
The Heart in The Centre of the Labyrinth I painted in Robson Square, Downtown Vancouver…
I am… grateful for being able to learn how the Labyrinth I painted in Robson Square is being walked and reflected upon.
“It’s not every day you find a big green Labyrinth to walk in the middle of downtown.
“Walking this one was a very weird experience.
“It’s in the middle of a pedestrian-only thoroughfare and I got in many people’s way as I followed the path.
“My movements, weaving the meandering path, clashed with the movements of other pedestrians and their straight lines through the street.
“On this day I was feeling very grateful for my greatest friendships which are also some of my greatest loves.
“One of my sweetest, oldest, and dearest friends took this photo of me and it reminds me of how powerful and mesmerizing love between friends can be.
“Our culture grants so much privilege to romantic, sexual, monogamous partnerships and places so much value on the unit of “the couple”… yet the romance and intimacy within platonic friendships is one of the sweetest gifts on this earth, and deserves just as much privilege and celebration💖
“The deep unconditional love from friends has helped me immensely through my grief and heartbreak.
“And I think of them with gratitude every single day.”
