The Labyrinth

I walked a labyrinth for the first time today.

A labyrinth is not a maze - there are no tricky paths that require you to puzzle out each step so as not to get lost on the way.  It's a well marked path that leads to the centre and back out again.

When I was finished, I felt physically relaxed and mentally calm.

The friend I walked with said it made her see that, even though your path backtracks from time to time, you're still on the path to your goal.  She also said it made her realize that it was important to enjoy the experience of the journey, not just rush to the end.

Wow.
