I just finished walking a labyrinth at Mount Carmel. I was alone on this walk today. I had the glorious opportunity to meander along the white circular path at my own pace, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes dancing a step or two and even at times experiencing a misstep. The labyrinth sings to my heart and soul a different song each time I embark on its soothing meditative walk. The song heard today stilled my soul and opened my mind and senses to just being in the moment. I seemed to float around the labyrinth as I focused on my feet, the music in my ears and even the way my hair brushed my face. I had the profound sense today that Life was perfect. Nothing to be done or undone, just an honoring of what is. This path we walk in Life can be done in many ways, in many expressions. Some of us run, some of us saunter and most of us stumble and fall more times than we would like to admit. But we all eventually arrive at our final destination. The gift in the journey is remembering to savor each placed footfall on the path as it unfolds unknown before us. I believe there is great wisdom is the saying "Stop and smell the roses". May we all make a few more frequent stops along our trek and sense the gloriousness of Life around us.
