Synopsis

With great anticipation, Chris Farrow-Noble sets out one January 1st to walk a labyrinth every day for one year and to record each day’s experience. As a lifelong seeker without a specific religious foundation, she views this commitment as a trial spiritual practice, inspired by these ancient designs. She wants to know how walking labyrinths will affect her -- physically, mentally and spiritually. Most of her walks are on foot, while others are by hand, either using a finger labyrinth or drawing a seed pattern labyrinth and mindfully tracing its path. This evolving practice offers her time for meditation, provocative thought, and reflection. She candidly shares observations of the physical spaces that surround her and the inner spaces that are revealed. She describes the difficulty of establishing a consistent routine, the intermingling of loneliness and sense of community, companions on her journey, and, always, Why? She refrains from spoon-feeding answers but instead invites readers to experience their individual pathways at their own pace, ask their own questions, and feel the company of her images and words.

About this title

About the Author

Chris Farrow-Noble describes herself as bicoastal since she grew up in South Pasadena, California yet has lived and worked primarily in New England. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts with her husband, Chris Noble. An intense desire to travel has brought profound experiences in New Zealand, Western Europe, Africa and Greece, with more cultural explorations ahead. Writing, singing, dream work and family histories constantly beckon her. Connecting with her widespread family, including two granddaughters, Mika and Anna, in Oregon, brings her deep joy. She plans to continue to offer labyrinth walks and presentations, complete a labyrinth-focused novel, listen to her spirit and muse, and appreciate each day.
