And now, for something completely different. Thanx to our friend Joline, we got an invitation to join a Dowsers group in Cave Creek, AZ for a special meeting at Taffy's house. Taffy is very involved in Labyrinths and has two in her yard. The purpose of the meeting was to learn about Labyrinths and to walk the one in her yard.

Many people equate Labyrinths with Mazes. The difference is that Mazes have dead ends - you can get lost in a maze. Labyrinths give you a path to follow where there are no choices. You follow the path and you will end up in the center. Then you turn around and follow the path back out. It's very meditative. In the classic Labyrinth, you also make several sharp turns, reversing directions - it's a good brain-centering activity. And it's an outdoor, back-to-nature kind of thing too.



Jim walked the Labyrinth too.

We didn't bring Odie. We didn't trust him to walk within the lines. And he would probably pee on the sacred center stone :-)



The Labyrinth society has a project to build Labyrinths all across the country on the 39th parallel. Wouldn't that be an interesting reason for planning a trip?

There was a second Labyrinth on her property. I think I liked this one even better. You had to concentrate a little more to follow it.



And the house and neighborhood were beautiful. Especially with that new snow in the mountains nearby.







Thanx Joline!



Ooooh, almost full moon.
