But I love this. I guess I think of Beat poetry as long, rambling, and (to me) not that interesting. This is focused and fabulous!<br /><br />I've only walked in "entertainment" labyrinths--hay mazes, Halloween haunted mazes, etc. Would love to try a meditative one. I think there's one here in the Twin Cities somewhere that I read about.

At the time, I was attempting to write a book with a labyrinth in it and wanted to experience the walk. <br /><br />I also used a picture of a labyrinth like this one in a presentation about writing a novel. I talked about how you think the experience is going to be point A to point B, and winds up instead being this beautiful, twisting path that takes you nearer and then farther and then nearer to the center of the story as you steadily walk/write.<br /><br /> I think this post might be a sign that I need to get back to that long abandoned novel idea.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225998457253574928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824466663015731028.post-35277980387840405002009-04-17T07:06:00.000-04:002009-04-17T07:06:00.000-04:00That labyrinth in the sand is beautiful!
