I did want to built one several years ago, I even picked the spot and did all the investigating and a friend told me of a man in Wales that will do it all, but I guess I did not want someone to do it, I wanted to do it myself.
I spoke to a lady, on the phone, who heals horses, many years ago also, she heals them by walking them through her labyrinth. That's when I first heard of them for healing, and over the years little bits of information have come my way about them. It's all about ancient wisdom that has been hidden from the masses, ways we can heal, or better still stay well. I am learning about alchemy now from Heltblinds page here on ipeace, it has been very interesting to listen to the videos he has posted.
Going to look at the pictures now, thanks for posting them:)
They a beautiful photos. The flowers at the end are they the very rare ones? I watched a tv programme that mentioned them a while ago, you have captured them so well.
Thanks for your kind comments Sue. Yes, that's the boat-house. There's a little rowing boat in there which I always try to take out for a while if the weather is kind enough while I'm there. That part of the garden is one of my favourites and has a special significance for me. You could often find me sitting silently on the bench on a warm calm afternoon - or any time actually.
The flowers are snakes head fritilaries. I don't think they're particularly rare, we've had them at home - though we don't have any at the moment. They are rather lovely though aren't they.
There's a lot of goodness in the ancient ways and the wisdom that's in danger of being lost if it's not saved by good and wise people like you. Don't lose the vision for that labyrinth!
No....... I won't forget about the labyrinth project.
I'm going to rack my brains now the cap is back from the laundry, to remember that flower, there is a field somewhere near a church... somewhere that has lots of them. Now that is very clear isn't it!!!!
I went punting on the river at Oxford once, we went from bank to bank, the punter was not too good!
It's nice that they let you take out the boat. I love being in the woods, and trees especially, they all have such different characters, when they decide to shed their leaves and when they sprout them, even trees of the same kind next to each other vary. Sometimes there are masses of acorns and others there are hardly any, and in some years there have been none on the trees close to us.
