I am beginning a new practice - a new way of connecting - that may seem odd, especially for one who calls Soul of the Prairie "home." 

I am walking the prairie labyrinth. 

The labyrinth is calling me - no, the labyrinth is compelling me anew- into intentional walking, "be-ing," and reflecting on a daily basis. 

I am glad, because I've missed my time on the labyrinth.  Really missed it.  You see, in the daily busy-ness of caring for Soul of the Prairie and the wonderful souls who visit, I have set aside my own need for time on the path.  Oh, yes... I've been gratefully walking the labyrinth with groups, and tending it with lawnmower and hedgetrimmer.  But I haven't thought I've had the time for awhile to just "be" on the path - the very thing I encourage everyone else into!

So, I'm now taking a good dose of my own prescription and putting one foot in front of the other as I open my heart once again to all the labyrinth holds for me.  Each day new insights and a stronger connection with the Holy are infusing me with the pure knowledge that walking the prairie labyrinth is exactly what I must do. 

And so, the journey begins...
