THE LABYRINTH
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. Labyrinths have long been used as a tool for meditation and prayer. A labyrinth is a metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our selves to "that which is within." It is a place that allows one time out from the stress of a busy life and a place to commune with God in the solitude of one's heart, mind, and soul.

When most people hear of a labyrinth, they think of a maze; but the two are not the same. A maze is like a puzzle to be solved. It has twists, turns, and blind alleys. It is a left brain task that requires logical, sequential, analytical activity to find the correct path into the maze and out. A labyrinth has only one path. It is unicursal (one way). All the paths are traveled. The way in is the way out. You cannot get lost. There are no blind alleys. The path leads you on a circuitous path to the center and out again. A labyrinth is a right brain task. It involves intuition, creativity, and imagery. With a maze many choices must be made, and an active mind is needed to solve the problem of finding the center. With a labyrinth there is only one choice to be made. That choice is whether to enter or not. A receptive mind is all that is needed. The choice is whether or not to walk the spiritual path.

The labryrinth was constructed November, 2000, as the Eagle Scout project of Ben Eldridge, with the help of Calvin Center, Bosse Concrete, Brookside Communities, Home Depot, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, and Boy Scout Troup 71, Fayetteville, Georgia.
