Labyrinths

Labyrinth is a strange word.

It rolls uncomfortably off the tongue, almost as if it doesn't really belong in the human mouth in the first place.

It is a hard word to say. You can't just rush it out of your mouth the way we Americans have a tendency to do with our words

It's one of those "slow " kinds of word, that demands a certain amount of effort on the part of the speaker.

Labyrinth, is one of those tongue twisting kind of words, which requires the whole mouth.....lips, tongue, everything, in order to roll and form the word sounds before pushing the word out.

It seems fitting somehow, that labyrinth is also a term used to describe the portion of the middle ear that is responsible for balance. Just saying the word requires a certain balance....

This morning I spent the better part of a half hour, walking a mediation labyrinth. Well, I didn't actually walk the labyrinth. It was a cyber jouney, done online, accomplished inside and out of the cold Oregon rain.

I personally found the experience very interesting...centering, and I would do it again!

Why not give it a try and see if this ancient meditation practice holds the power to speak into your (post) modern heart?

It did mine.
