I Have Peace Like a River, I Have Peace Like a River...

In continuing with our discussions on self-care, I am led to the topic of peace.  As I mentioned to a friend, 'a piece on peace', and that reminded me of a song we sang in children's church when I was a child.  Before I knew it, I was smiling, singing and.. you've got it, peaceful!
Have you ever been so stressed, so bombarded by blinking lights and noises, and this and that that you just can't turn your mind off?  I find myself in that situation at times, and I do have a remedy that soothes my spirit.
The labyrinth.  Dating back to prehistoric time, the labyrinth is a symbol of the journey to peace and deeper faith.  People walk the path of the labyrinth peacefully, with a single focus, and find that they have broken free from the grip of the outside world.


You may find a labyrinth just around the corner from your home.  Try this Labyrinth Locator to see where one might be.  The above picture is from The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, in Mobile, Alabama.

    You are a joke. I guess if you're not a pregnant woman no one is "worthy" of even as much as an response from you after voice mail and email requests.

    Do men a favor...remove your blog, and update your profile to include the fact that you discriminate.

    I forgot, after visiting "home," that I was back in Mobile.
