 From Lilan Laishley, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, "prayers were given next to a small pond using finger labyrinths. The mallard ducks, herons, kingfisher, and family members sent positive healing energy to the water in South and Southeast Asia." |
The
northeast had a major snow storm Saturday day and night. Sunday
morning the sun came out and it was beautiful. North Jersey, USA,
got 20 inches of snow, beautiful ice crystals falling and blowing
around, and it was cold, 6 degrees. Carol House cleared off
her entire deck to reveal the labyrinth she had drawn in yellow
chalk. "The labyrinth has a spiral in the center and
as you walk the circuits and spiral you can see the stream
merrily flowing along with the snow right at the water's edge like
a big white down quilt. Because the roads were still not clear,
no one came to walk her labyrinth, but I walked it and meditated
on being grateful for the water abundantly all around me as millions
of snowflakes. It was so magical being out there and knowing
I was joining with people all over the world walking a labyrinth
and praying for the earth and the water and all the people affected
by the Tsunami. |

On
Sun. at 3:00 pm, Connie Fenty, USA, "began to trudge through
9 inches of snow on the soccer field at the elementary school where
I teach. I took large steps to mark the seven circuits of
my favorite pattern. Maintaining my balance so as not to disturb
the beautiful unmarked snow between the paths was a challenge.
Wind blew snow across the surface of the snow field. When
I finished, I walked alone physically but in community as I thought
of all of us Labyrinth enthusiasts walking in unison around the
world in a sacred manner. At the center, I sent a prayer for
the waters and those devastated by the losses of the Tsunami as
the sun began to creep down on the horizon. When I returned
today to take a picture, footprints had moved through the labyrinth
and broken down its snow walls. A lesson in impermanence was
noted." |
 This
is a 7 circuit drawn in the sand of Kehoe Beach at Point Reyes,
California by Judith Tripp with a piece of drifted bamboo. 6 humans
and one dog walked after a circle of prayers for those affected
by the devastation in the Indian Ocean. |
Twenty-one folks
gathered around the center of our Three Rivers Community Hospital
labyrinth, Grants Pass, Oregon, USA-sunshine so welcomed. Formal
and personal prayers for the Indian Ocean Rim countries and continued
global generosity and peace, were voiced. Then we walked with healing
river water in paper cups which was splashed on the labyrinth or
landscaping. The creation of small abstract watercolor paintings
let out grief, and watching Dr. Emoto's video gave hope. -Martha Shonkwiler |
 "Sunday,
a small group of caring souls braved the cold and high wind
to gather on New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Jana Batey drew an
11 circuit Chartres replica in the sand for a community walk which
was attended by appx. 20 people." |
Answering
the Labyrinth's Call From Suzanna Alexander, USA |
 There
were seven of us who walked in the ceremony... the "seven"
wasn't planned at all... it was just who showed up magically and
synchronistically ... Quiana and myself, her friends Katrama and
Curtis who live on Kuaui, Pete from Vancouver, and Fabio and Claudio
from Italy. The seven circuit was made of found materials... monkey
pod leaves lining the paths, adorned with a coconut, a bread fruit,
coral pieces, a volcanic lava rock, and then bamboo sticks and grass
mats at the entrance and the center. From William Frost (usually
of Minnesota), on Anini
Beach on the North side of Kuaui
on a beautiful day. |
 People of all ages came to walk the Snoopy Labyrinth at the Charles M. Schulz Museum, Santa Rosa, California. At the center of Snoopy's ear... all gave blessings to the water in a Chinese "Dancing Water" bowl. -Lea Goode-Harris. |
 Waters from the Red Sea, Glastonbury Chalice Well, and the Loltun Caves in Mexico, mingled together in the heart-space of this labyrinth, approached from all four directions, remembering and giving thanks to the water we all share. -Lea Goode-Harris. |
