Great to meet you last night! Small small world, I used to be the camp nurse at Rolling Ridge way back in another life time. I wonder if you attend the UU church in North Andover? My sister, Barbara was a member until she moved to Marlborough. My former brother and sister in law, Rodney and Kristen Hollenbeck used to have a LOT to do with Rolling Ridge. Since I have not been a part of that family for more than a decade I don't know if they still are. Anyhoo. . . small small world. LOVE your blog btw. Susan Hey Lori! Great to meet you last night!

I tend to initiate a lot of activities, too, where I display a distinct lack of forethought and preparation. I like to think of myself as spontaneous! Sounds better than disorganized and unable to think critically in the face of overwhelmingly obvious facts. I ADORE labyrinths and actually have hopes of building one on my land. I have the space, just need to figure out how to get the materials donated. Oh, and the labor, though I might be able to rustle that up barn-raising-style. Wouldn't that make a fun weekend workshop project? There are two large labyrinths where my women's group retreats, one indoor, one out. We spend a lot of time in them. As for kids and meditating? They have their own special way of communing and meditating - I find their boisterousness refreshing and eye-opening! The best plans, eh?

Duh! Even though it would have been better to have really been able to walk the labyrinths, we did have fun just poking around in the woods. It was windy and overcast, but it's been a while since we "hiked" and picked up rocks and sticks and threw them around. So we'll try the labyrinths another, warmer day. The good news is that it's pouring like crazy right now and a lot of the remaining snow is melting. I honestly couldn’t believe I didn’t think about the snow until we got there! Duh!

We have tried using a labyrinth as part of our boys club solstice/equinox celebrations. It's a nice tradition. We weren't able to do it in December because of the weather (rain, not snow). I was laughing at your picture of trying to follow the invisible path. We're going to try a different one this month (March 20). The kids think it is fun, but the meditation thing? Not so much.
