Lessons from the Labyrinth

Arriving home from a 10 day trip, I see my
yard- looking like I have been gone all summer.

My labyrinth, one of my first priorities, needs mowing badly,
and as I fire up the mower and walk towards the entrance, I realize
that this is going to be a bit more difficult than usual.
The grass in the "path" has grown up as tall as the grass on the "edges"
and I cannot easily see the way I am suppose to mow.

I begin to walk forward, trusting my knowledge and
memory to keep me on the right path. Sometimes I can see my
way clearly and sometimes I have to stop and gaze several yards ahead sort of
sensing where I am to go, rather than actually seeing it.

I start to think how cutting through this mini jungle is so
symbolic of the path I am currently traveling in my life.
The way is not completely clear, yet I know it is there. Sometimes I can see
exactly where I am to walk, and other times I have to stop and rest for a moment
and wait for the next step to reveal itself.

I finish mowing the labyrinth,
successfully maneuvering through the
hidden path, and this action leaves me feeling more confident about the
life path I am on. As in the labyrinth, I just need to trust myself.
