so wonderful discovering the beautiful labyrinth

at the matthaei botanical gardens

i’ve been here a number of times

but have never found this

we slowly walked

round and round and round and round and round and round….

somehow changing directions at one point

i thought it to be a very short path in the beginning

but fell under its spell after a while

 way longer than i imagined

 it really does lead you to imagine

at last

finally finding ourselves

on the large stones in the center.

‘things outside you are projections of what’s inside you,

and what’s inside you is a projection of what’s outside.

so when you step into the labyrinth outside you,

at the same time you’re stepping into the labyrinth inside.’
