beauty found me

Flipping around--
looking for something else
I happened on this page in my journal.
I like the combination of the John Lubbock quote with the labyrinth.

Beauty wasn't the point of page,
but beauty found me
as I contemplated
what exactly I was looking for today.

Home again--more or less...

Sometimes the journey home is longer than the miles traveled imply. This is such a time. I return with fresh air in my lungs and while I have rested and laughed, walked and eaten well, I can feel I never fully put down my weariness. I walked among the tall trees and sat by, and slightly in the river on one particularly hot afternoon. I didn't fish--but ate fish one night from Domke Lake...

I took a walk today...

I heard of a 'new' labyrinth in town--well, new to me. I've been to St. James Episcopal (in Kent) several times...and it is new since then. It was overcast, muggy, and eventually the sky gave way to rain--but thankfully not until the end of my walk. It is a five circuit labyrinth edged with brick. It is just off the street but not a high speed street and I was there in late afternoon on a Saturday so the traffic was not distracting.
