Lessons from the labyrinth

In the Christian tradition there is a saying:  “God works in secret”.  I believe that is true. It is our openness, our readiness to start anew at every turn, that inner hope that starves off despair…. is I believe what we are about. I have found that in doing this, something deeper goes on; it is grace, the gift of God’s love that is what is going on. This is a process that works outside any kind of religious thought or belief.  All that is needed to come to that conclusion is to listen to the life experiences of family and friends, or even those that we meet on the way. Yes we are on a journey, together and for me at this time of my life, the labyrinth is teaching me that.
