a holiday offering

I offer you peace. I offer you love.

I offer you friendship. I see your beauty.

I hear your need.

I feel your feelings. My wisdom

flows from the highest source.

I salute that source in you.

temporary island labyrinth builds permanent support

"In preparation for building a permanent labyrinth, Emmanuel Episcopal Parish on Orcas Island decided to install a temporary painted labyrinth on the lawn for use during the summer months. Our intention was to show how a labyrinth could be integrated into the church grounds. No one on the committee had ever attempted a project of this sort. Enter Laughing Flower Labyrinth Company and Myra Smith. Myra's uncomplicated solutions and expertise in mapping out our 11 circuit Chartres labyrinth were invaluable. We could not have completed the project without her insight."  

- Nancy Ayer, Chair, Emmanuel/Community Labyrinth Committee, Orcas Island, WA

Note from Myra: The temporary labyrinth was so popular that visiting footsteps made a semi-permanent labyrinth in the grass by this fall. Nancy's Vestry at Emmanuel Episcopal Parish has now approved the addition of a permanent labyrinth on the church property on Orcas Island! Fund raising and planning are underway. The Parish also hosts labyrinth walks using a portable canvas labyrinth throughout the year. For more updates or labyrinth events on Orcas Island, or to find out how to support this project, please visit www.orcasislandepiscopalchurch/labyrinth.
