Delaware Labyrinth a Place to Get Centered

labyrinth

Many labyrinths set in floors or on the ground are large enough that the path to the center and back can be walked. They have historically been used both in group ritual and for private meditation. The labyrinth in the Sculpture Garden at the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington was created inside an old reservoir on the grounds. When I visited the grounds on Halloween weekend, the shadows of the trees seemed to be creating a sort of ancient astronomical indicator pattern on the stones, with fallen leaves partially hiding the stones which form the pattern in the labyrinth.
