Quotations, Poems, Notes
“At each of these incidents in
time, the labyrinth symbol and the mythology that surrounds
it have surfaced in a culture that has incorporated them into their lives for
various purposes.
Sometimes these episodes in labyrinth-time were short-lived, other times they
flourished
for hundreds of years and spread the concept far and wide. The media employed
for its
use have been many and varied: a simple symbol in a mythology, carved on a rock face,
woven into the design on a basket, laid out on the ground with water-worn stones
on
shore lines, in colored stone or tiles on the floors of churches and cathedrals
or cut into
the living turf – to name a few.”
- Sig Lonegren, Labyrinths: Ancient Myths and Modern Uses
"The labyrinth is a model of
spiritual cosmology that is quite unrecognizable to the modern
mentality since this understanding disappeared after the acceptance of
Descartes' world
view and the split of the mind/body/spirit."
- Keith Critchlow
“Walking the labyrinth has
reemerged today as a metaphor for the spiritual journey and
a powerful tool for transformation. This “walking” meditation is an
archetype, a mystical
ritual found in all religious traditions. It quiets the mind and opens the soul,
evoking a
feeling of wholeness. People have emerged from their walks with a
tremendous sense
of peace and possibility.”
- Lauren Artress, Walking a Sacred Path
“Solvitur
ambulando – It is solved by walking.”
- St. Augustine of Hippo
"What we call the beginning is often
the end,
and to make an end is to make a beginning.
he end is where we start from."
- T. S. Eliot
"Stand by the roads and look
And ask for ancient paths,
Where the good way is,
And walk it it, and find rest
For your souls."
- Jermiah, 6:16
"For the human spirit caught within a spinning universe in
an ever confusing flow
of events, circumstance and inner turmoil, to seek truth has always been to seek
the invariable, whether it is called Ideas, Forms, Archetypes, Numbers or Gods.
To enter a temple constructed wholly of invariable geometric proportions is
to
enter and abode of eternal truth."
- Robert Lawlor, Sacred
Geometry: Philosophy and Practice
"The rhythm of walking
generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and
the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage
through a series of thoughts. The creates an odd consonance between
internal and external passage, one that suggests that the mind is
also a landscape of sorts and that walking is one way to traverse it.
A new thought often seems like a feature of the landscape that was
there all along, as though thinking were traveling rather than making."
- Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust:
A History of Walking, p. 5.
"A
thread is all we need...
one golden thread
that takes us to the center
of our being
where we wind around
to the flower-lotus,
the sacred honey
that spills from the well
where
time begins and ends
as we simultaneously wind our way back out
to greet the mornings of our evenings."
- Lea Goode-Harris, A
Thread
(Poetry inspired by the Labyrinth)
"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is
about change, growth, discovery, movement,
transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible,
stretching your
soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking
courageous
challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you
are
meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your
life
story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing of courage, of beauty, of
wisdom,
of power, of dignity, and of love."
- Caroline Adams
"Why does the Labyrinth attract people? Because it is a tool to
guide healing,
deepen self-knowledge, and empower creativity. Walking the labyrinth
clears
the mind and gives insight into the spiritual journey. It urges
action. It calms people
in the throes of life transitions. It helps them see their lives in the
context of a path,
a pilgrimage. They realize that they are not human beings on a spiritual
path but
spiritual beings on a human path. To those of us who fell we have untapped
gifts
to offer, it stirs the creative fires within us. To others who are in deep
sorrow,
the walk gives solace and peace. The experience is different for everyone
because each of us brings different raw material to the labyrinth. We
bring our
unique hopes, dreams, history, and longings of the soul."
- Dr. Lauren Artress, Walking
a Sacred Path, p. 21
"... physiologically, telluric and other currents can only enter human
beings via a
vertebral column that is straight and vertical. A person can only move to
a higher
state of consciousness by standing upright."
- Louis Charpentier, The Mysteries of Chartres Cathedral, 1983
"Within the circles of our lives,
We dance the circles of the years,
The circles of the seasons...
Again, again we come and go, changed, changing.
Hands join, unjoin in love and fear, grief and joy.
The circles turn, each giving into each, into all."
- Wendell Berry, Song (4)
"On the hilltop the rocks reveal
their pattern, the foxfire path
spirals moonwise among trees, among stars.
I choose a white moonsnail shell for talisman,
follow the moon as it wanes to darkness.
In the surrounding mist,
pilgrims pace their millennial journey.
Generations of monks, encowled,
whisper their prayers.
Nuns in rough robes
counting their heavy wooden beads
walk their rosary circles
to join me in the labyrinth's hidden heart."
- Pat Parnell, Seven
Circuits: The Cretan Labyrinth
"A beautiful spiritual tool -- a pattern, an emblem, a
walkway -- has captured
my attention and my heart. The labyrinth is its name."
- Jill K. H. Geoffrion
"What is this mighty labyrinth - the earth
But a wild maze the moment of our birth?
Still as we life pursue the maze extends,
Nor find we where each winding purlieu ends;
Crooked and vague each step of life we tread, -
Unseen the danger, we escape the dread!
But with delight we through the labyrinth range,
Confused we turn, and view each artful change-
Bewildered, through each wild meander bend
Our wandering steps, anxious to gain the end;
Unknown and intricate, we still pursue
A certain path, uncertain of the clue;
Like hoodwinked fools, perplexed we grope our way
And during life's short course we blindly stray,
Puzzled in mazes and perplexed with fears;
Unknown alike both heaven and earth appears.
Till at the last, to banish our surprise,
Grim Death unbinds the blindfold from our eyes.
They shall Gay's truth and wisdom stand confest,
And Death will show us Life was but at jest."
- Birtish Magazine, 1747
