on the path again

I was recently on a class/retreat for Carey Theological College and was excited that they had a labyrinth to walk, as I'm anticipating the labyrinth facilitator workshop with Lauren Artress of Veriditas next weekend.
So the labyrinth was actually a part of our class and we walked it in 2 groups of 8. This was a new experience for me to walk it with more people. A whole different experience! Not only are you dealing with your own thoughts, but also with other people following you! As always, on the path, you learn something about yourself and God. I definitely like to keep my private space and reel when people come too close. Yeah, I got issues with trust and opening up. Maybe that's why blogging attracts me :) So to my friends out there: don't let this scare you, just go gently. I'm learning still. It just never stops does it? But that's the good thing.
I did walk again later in the week, by myself and had another beautiful experience.
All this confirmed the lesson of taking time alone as well as time in community, for they both form and teach us.
So keep walking ! With your eyes on the road and out stretched hand.
