Labyrinth Reflection

Fall 2010

A labyrinth
Is a metaphor for life
A twisted path
Full of turns upon itself
With obstacles along the way
And places of rest
With witnesses who may watch from the perimeter
Or walk along for a time.

Life
Isn’t just about survival
Getting old, older, or oldest
Gathering money or other things
Because every individual dies eventually
As the stuff we are made of
Recycles itself
Releasing the spirits within
But the whole persists.

Each human life has an objective
Of the spirit
To learn
To be compassionate,
To love,
Which is the sign
Of a successful life
Seldom accomplished in one incarnation.

The question asked then is:
Who did you love?
