relationship with the land

 seasons change and so do we

 now we walk on snow blanketed path and leave our footprints as a new mark on our work

subtle transformations

grass sprouting out of the weed barriers 

prints on the cans are fading

critique day

Our friends in the class trying out or 'crunchy' sound concrete stepping stones and some bamboo path.

capture the moment

spending time in the center of the labyrinth,
reflecting on the process,
expressing gratitude,
and an openness to whatever projects lie ahead!

final touches

sustenance

 We fed our souls on beautiful sunsets,

while feeding our stomachs with wonderful food creations!

perseverance

 We worked at night to avoid the 100 degree heat in July...

 it was truly a matter of perseverance!

Production of Pathways

We organized all the bamboo...

and had a production line of stepping stones!

Mulch and branches

Labyrinth VS Maze

A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness.It has only one path. It is unicursal. The way in is the way out. There are no blind alleys. The path leads you on a circuitous path to the center and out again.

A maze is like a puzzle to be solved. It has twists, turns, and blind alleys. It is a left brain task that requires logical, sequential, analytical activity to find the correct path into the maze and out.

Cans harvest

A message was left in my voice mail box. The cans are ready for you ladies to collect so off we go in a beautiful morning to collect them at Cougar Village Housing Facilities Management.

Ellen joyfully harvesting the cans...

Finally, this is the location...

Funny how everything came full circle. We ended up using the initial materials we thought of using and back at the first location we considered.

Despite of all our wants and plans...
Sometimes letting things to flow is better.
