The Labyrinth, A “Twistery” – Getting There, A Mystery

Which way did she say to go?

This way, that way, right way, wrong way.

No way for me, “I’m lost.”

Too many paths and curves and trees. It all looks the same to me.

Then a helper does appear – and then two more with big dogs in the rear.

“That way,” they said. Past the alligator pine.

These three are now best friends of mine.

A circle in the stickery brush. I take my time – no need to rush.

I walk in very mindful steps. Some curves go right and some go left.

Painted rocks glowing bright. Twist and turn, shadows and light.

In the center I come to rest. Prayers go north and south and east and west.

Time to spiral out and back. I finish up the labyrinth track.

But now which way, this way, that way? What did my three helpers say?

Other seekers come my way. They’re lost like me. We bow and pray?

We help each other find the path.

And when we get home we’ll “share the air” and have a laugh.

The labyrinth – a “twistery” –

Getting there – a mystery … solved.
