I stopped at the Labyrinth in First Lutheran Church today after lunch to help qualm my frantic/frenzy/sense of urgency.

I was alone, so I picked out a good CD from the stack and turned the female chanting up loud. I stood for a while at the entrance and tried to calm myself. I walked slowly to the pace of the music.

I kept having to stop myself from thinking about how I would blog about it later. And from thinking about if I was taking too much time and if someone wanted to take everything down.

I focused on me, Jesus & God. I kept repeating it to keep me focused. I tried to stay in-the-moment. I meditated/talked to God about on things in my life, people in my life, issues in my life, decisions in my life.

I sat in the middle in a good yoga pose and breathed. Breathed. And tried to clear my head. I lit a candle for everything that overwhelms me with dispair and one for the things that give me hope.

It is amazing how the labyrinth always unearths emotions that I have been supressing. It took away the knot in my stomach.

There was a clay labrinyth medalion to take away that I put in my pocket for future finger walks.

Ahh. I should have been doing this all Lent-long.
