A labyrinth is not a maze. There are no trick alley ways or blind corners in a labyrinth. A three foot wide pathway leads directly to the center for rest and receiving. There is no right or wrong way to walk a labyrinth. On the walk in, one releases the troubles of the day. On the walk out, he or she follows the same path as they return to the real world, spiritually refreshed.
