Labyrinth location: The Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist; 127 East 12th, Spokane, Washington 99202
Date: September 27, 2022 around 2:20 p.m.
This is my third attempt at a labyrinth walk today. The first one at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in 9 miles Falls, WA did not exist (I couldn’t even locate the church, despite driving by the alleged google maps location several times). I also could not find West Central Episcopal Mission or their labyrinth. They appear to have moved from the address in Spokane (though I did see several police officers and police cars just a few short blocks away). Consequently, I was happy to finally find this little labyrinth in plain view, across the street from the episcopal church. There was even a cute little cat lurking nearby, and it was relatively quiet and peaceful there.
Jeremiah 3:16
I have zero explanation for this one…. When I hear 3:16, I immediately think of John 3:16 (16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life).
Jeremiah 3:16 had no meaning for me and I had no frame of reference for what the scripture means (in terms of my life). Even after I looked it up, it still didn’t (and doesn’t) make sense to me.
if you can interpret what this means to me and my situation (or you and yours), feel free to drop your explanation in the comments, because my level of understanding is exactly this: 🤷🏽♀️.
Sometimes it’s about the path not taken
We are often defined by the decisions we make- our choices.
We’re discouraged from dwelling on the path we didn’t take, and we’re told to look forward, not back.
However I disagree with that sentiment. How can we possibly course correct, make amends or choose the wiser path if we are unwilling to reflect on our poor choices and bad decisions?
We may not be able to change the past, but we can change our future for the better if we put our pride and ego to the side, admit we erred and change the direction we are headed.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
I usually get a trio of revelatory thoughts on a labyrinth walk, so anytime I get more (or less), it’s a little surprising to me.
On the day of this walk, September 27, 2022, I received a bonus. Make of it what you will.
