Prayer at Play

Pettit Chartres style canvas labyrinth of Soul Journey Labyrinth.

Have you ever stopped and watched with the eyes of your soul as children walk the labyrinth?

To really see them

how they run and play follow the leader?

To watch as they move so naturally, 

forward, backward, side to side...

much like dancing.

Have you opened your ears to the sound of their laughter and giggles?

Only then to notice them let the pace slow 

as their place of play welcomes 

first one adult,

then another.

The energetic dance of earlier slowing to a waltz as...

A child asks a parent to walk with them, almost pulling them in with expectation.

A family stops for a reflective, intimate moment of prayer together in the middle of their labyrinth journey.

Have you ever watched prayer at play,

to let it flow over you in all it's energetic glory?

If not, I hope some day you do

And experience the gift and blessing

of such a Sabbath experience.
