I want to share three faith lessons that I experienced a few weeks ago at a prayer labyrinth. I’ve written about labyrinths before (more than a few times) but I think I have (so far) found my favorite labyrinth. It is at The Springs in Indiana where I was on retreat for four days a few weeks ago. Their prayer labyrinth is cut out of this large meadow and is very unusual because the path one walks is not the gravel (which is normally the case) but instead the grass. So, walking the path is not rough and crunchy but instead soft and gentle. I have walked many labyrinths before barefoot partly because I wanted to have the fullness of connection with the ground and that has often resulted in a few pain points here and there. But this one, it is a walk in the grass. So, insight number one - yes the path that we follow can be a difficult one but it is also one following the one who carries our burdens and never leaves us.
