Later in the day on Saturday, Ben made a labyrinth by raking the pine needles at the Harmonist Cemetery. These have withstood several days of wind & rain and still look fresh today. The leaf labyrinth has now been overlaid with a glimmering blanket of yellow leaves as the maple shed nearly everything in yesterday’s rain. It is still visible as a subtle raised pattern below the blanket of yellow.
Tomorrow Ben will resume raking meditatively for the three days he is home between teaching stints in Chicago.
This is really neat. I love all the posts about the labyrinths, raking and gentle process and beauty that results.
