Labyrinth

There are no blind ends in a labyrinth, the path often doubles back on itself, the direction forward which we are facing is continually changing, and if we do not turn back or give up we will reach the centre to find the rose, the Goddess, the Grail, a symbol representing the sacred feminine. To return to ordinary life, we much again travel the labyrinth to get out, which is also a complex journey for it involves integrating the experience into consciousness, which is what changes us.

Threshold Time

Who we become, depends upon the choices we make. At particular times in our lives, really significant choices are made that shape our fate. When we are in a threshold time, what we decide to do determines what comes next.
