Stacy I think I know which cemetary you are talking about. Des Moines, right?

I literally live like 5 blocks from there but have never noticed the labyrinth. I’ll have to go back and check it out!

I admit to not being savy at the difference between a maze and a labyrinth. Maybe a good idea for the VS section. :)

I love labyrinths. I painted a couple on a pair of boots for a future gf/wife years ago. Magical and mystical and all that jazz.

Funny how the dictionaries of the world do not differentiate between labyrinth and maze, and indeed the very coin you show is a maze by your definition yet a labyrinth by those who created the word.

My church First Congregation United Church of Christ uses the labyrinth shown in Chartres Church. It is such a great way to loose yourself in thought and meditate. We have a beautiful permanent one right outside our building

If by saying “Chartres Cathedral in Paris”, you mean an hour outside the city in the town of Chartres, then I guess that’s correct. I just wouldn’t want people wandering around Paris, wondering why they cant find the labyrinth that you mention. That being said, it is certainly worth taking the train out to see the cathedral, as it is more impressive than Notre Dame which is of course, in Paris.

Walking through a labyrinth doesn’t make me happy, but David Bowie’s junk definitely does.

Grace Cathedral in San Francisco has two replicas of the Chartres labyrinth: one outdoors and one inside the church. Both are free to the public and the one outside can be used 24 hours a day.

There is a labyrinth about 100 feet from my apartment. I took a walk one Saturday when I was in undergrad and happened upon it; it was such a nice surprise and seemed just for me, just on that walk. My own little discovery. The second place I lived after I moved off campus, where I live now, is so close to it that it still feels meant for me! One time I rollerbladed through it.
