Weekend Blog Hop, Your Sunday Best, Haiku Heights



View from Deck of overall Labyrinth
Blog Hop every Monday here at Creative Harbor.

We are under construction. A labyrinth is currently being installed in the yard. What is a 'labyrinth'? Some of you probably already know. Its origins is from Greece and many churches have them. In keeping with my spiritual practice of staying close to nature this 'labyrinth' is a type of maze that you walk as a meditation. ArtMuse Dog and I do a lot of regular walking but this back yard labyrinth will allow me to practice a meditative walk each day should I feel the need to do so.





I am sharing the beginning of the construction of our labyrinth with you and sometime next week or earlier will have more photos.

    1. Meaning comes from the 'mind' ~ go to the center of the spinning mind where it is empty and still ~

  10. Beautiful blog. Thanks for visiting mine. I am a new follower. I've always been fascinated with the eastern coastline and Cape Cod - never been there. I grew up on the other side of the country. 2 miles from the Pacific Ocean in a small coastal town. I know I will enjoy your blog and pictures.

    Your little dog is adorable. What a face! :-)

  12. Very spiritual way of writing a haiku on the theme meaning. Wonderful ... a really relaxing read with a very deep meaning.

  13. In philosophy, I am always on the qui vive when someone tells me that something is or has a "key meaning" -- I ask "what am I being sold". Guess I just don't believe the idea, repeated to the point of "it must be true", that meaning is always within. I think this is a bare solipsism, or at least a tautology -- but looking at this from within the assumed trope, it is nicely done!

  14. Yes, there's a special meaning in the shape of the creation! All in your own yard! Nice haiku, Carol!

  16. I just hope you don't get lost in the back yard. I've been lost in those things before. You need one way in and one way out. ;)

  21. What an interesting photo. It draws you in to see what the story behind it is and once you read what the photo is about it makes you smile while envisioning walking the path to a spot of relaxation and meditation. A very nice idea! And Great photo too!
