A Franciscan Style Labyrinth for Meditation

Hopefully attached to this post is a mostly quiet walk of meditation at a labyrinth still being installed at the Spirit Venture Camp outside of Ashland, Oregon.  This is termed a "Franciscan Style" as it is inspired by the life and spirit of St Francis in appreciating and honoring the basic elements of Creation.  In this spirit we have walked the path going around trees and boulders instead of removing them to construct a more conventional circular seven circuit labyrinth.
We have also added spiritual insights from many spiritual guides through the ages.  Of course a meditative path is usually one of silence, however this option gives one the choice to walk in silence or take the time to read inspiration from the past and present, you could look at it as a type of guided meditation.  If by some chance you have read the past few posts you may see that this is the microcausm of the macrocausm referred to in the Spiritual Botanical Peace Garden.
Happy Season of Giving Thanks!  RV
