One of the most beautiful memories I have is walking the Labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in the Candlelight. Perhaps one day I'll write about it ...
but for now ... let me tell you about the candlelight labyrinth walk I offered this past weekend to a group of spiritual seekers steeped in the sounds of sheer silence. The photos do not do this labyrinth vision of light justice ...
While it wasn't the cathedral, the dance of over 100 candles gently invited our pilgrims onto holy ground ... as the last person rounded the first corner, I felt the familiar tug on my heart to join the community in this walk ... dearest God, here I am, yes!
two steps forward and one step back ... 
o how like the journey of life!
Two steps forward moving in rhythm o so slowly ...
one step back, two steps forward, one step back ...
I surrender into a meditation of "release"
and there it is, the great expanse
two steps forward nothing ... nothing ...
one step back nothing ...
a great expanse of space in the nothing-ness as 
the center of God ... the center of my soul ...
and I am at home ... within myself.
I "receive" ... clarity,
love and strength for the journey
And I "return"
with each dancing step of the pilgrim
I am filled with the Love of God!
Amen!
