Labyrinth.......Take your shoes off.!















Prayer Labyrinth-Denver




I had never undertook a prayer labyrinth before.
It originates from Chartres Cathedral, North France coming from the Middle Ages. It consists as you would think of a maze of paths - ours was printed on heavy duty clothes, the originals were of stone, there is one in Ely Cathedral at the front door. After leaving all my belongings I had to take my shoes off!

Winding in towards God and rewinding out/forgiveness, the walk weaved in and out sometimes alone, sometimes passing others. Sometimes stopping to pray and reflect. A time to "Shut out the world". It was a reflective time providing peace.

I am reminded of the news last year that those who pray have in general terms a longer lifespan.
