Because of the neap tide last night, this morning only the bottom of the outer three circuit “walls” were washed away. In fixing that and cleaning it up again early this morning (the Lifeguard vehicle also drove over it), I noticed that it had been well used–and the “heart space” had even been graffitied! Someone wrote: “Inner Peace — World Peace”. (wish I could post a picture here, maybe on the Facebook page) Nice to see that we are not alone! I believe that inner transition, i.e. transitioning to inner peace and connection is a prerequisite for any lasting outward transition that might lead to true sustainability, resilience, abundance and world peace. The labyrinth is a unifying archetype that can serve as a gentle tool to aid that journey in community. 🙂
