InscriptionsThe Labyrinth at Harvard Divinity School. The practice of waking a walk for a sacred purpose is a universal human activity that attains particular form and expression in many religious traditions. From pilgrimages to Mecca and Jerusalem to meandering hikes through the forest, spiritual seekers everywhere know the allure and power of walking a sacred path. Found in many cultures the labyrinth is a spiritual tool that invites each of us--on foot or in wheelchairs, accompanied or alone--to turn our walking and our wandering into pilgrimage. Considerations for walking the labyrinth: - The labyrinth provides an opportunity for meditation and contemplation. All are welcome to traverse its circuitous path mindfully. - The path through the labrinth constitutes the longest possible way to the center. It is important not to rush but to proceed at a measured pace. - Unlike a maze, a labyrinth is unicursal, with a single path to the center and out again, preventing the possibility that the walker will ever be lost. - Pass others, or allow others to pass you, simply by moving aside. 2008.
