The Reed Labyrinth Walk has returned to the front lawn for the days surrounding Earth Day. You’ll find Labyrinth near the flagpole on the Front Lawn (the lawn between Eliot Hall and Woodstock). There are several yard signs directing your attention to the Labyrinth. My favorite sign so far (I haven’t seen them all) is the one that describes the Labyrinth as the world’s “first search engine”.

Is there a certain way to walk the Labyrinth? I can’t tell you. Perhaps I’m searching. Or, perhaps I’m just “being”. Can I be both? However I approach it, I simply love having the opportunity to slowly wind my way back and forth, to turn around each curve, seemingly going nowhere, and yet simultaneously going everywhere. A voyage of discovery.

Many thanks to Gary Granger for initiating this annual tradition and keeping it alive.

As if we needed one, here’s another reason to explore our beautiful campus!
