Yes, in the southern hemisphere we've had to get used to the fact that things are a little topsy turvey. Spring equinox in September is when we have those lovely energies of resurrection.<br />Penny, I'm so glad that you have been able to come into the labyrinth with me, & that those words spoke to you, as they certainly did to me. So much love and care goes into creating this each year, just for 4 or 5 days. The atmosphere in the church is very special.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-69549412080546993002012-04-05T07:23:56.313+12:002012-04-05T07:23:56.313+12:00You have no idea how I needed to read this just no...You have no idea how I needed to read this just now, Juliet. I'm at one of those curves at the moment and it is good to read those words 'Enjoy the turns as they can help you to accept change in your life and support you with moving on,'. They seem to be written just for me right now. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this labyrinth. It is beautiful with the use of stones and candles. The amount of time and thought that went into putting it together must have been great and a work of love.lifeonthecutoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657395265006688388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-81503745859132215262012-04-05T07:18:12.465+12:002012-04-05T07:18:12.465+12:00I have never thought about this idea of Easter bei...I have never thought about this idea of Easter being about a journey into darkness....seems very foreign and not right, though I do understand that fall is approaching in the southern hemisphere. By definition Easter is about resurrection and new life. It is good that I live in the northern hemisphere I guess.<br />The labyrinth is a beautiful one...thanks for sharing.<br />Virginia, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
