My
Own Footprint
by Megan
McDonough |
Life is not like taking a walk through a forest with an accurate compass.
It's more like walking through a long, high labyrinth. A labyrinth is a
circular path that will, if you just keep walking, bring you to the
center. You may feel disoriented, not know exactly where you are, but
you're not lost.
I walked a labyrinth once. Not a tall grand one, but a small humble
herb garden. I almost walked right by it, expecting to see an obvious
entrance encircled by tall vegetation. My preconceived ideas about a
labyrinth came from a friend of mine who had walked through the Grace
Cathedral Labyrinth developed by Dr. Lauren Artress, author of Walking
a Sacred Path. The extensive labyrinth she described was in
contrast with this simple concentric garden framed by an entrance of grape
vines. Planted here were flowers and herbs, many which were in bloom.
I had just left a well-paying corporate job with a Fortune 50 company to
start a venture of my own design. Saying goodbye to the steady, safe job
meant saying hello to uncertainty, fear, and the excitement of something
new. Transitions are an ideal time to stop and reflect, which was exactly
why I was here. Pausing at the entrance to the garden, I asked to be shown
that which I needed to see. CLICK TO

Do you believe coincidences have meaning, or are they just fluky
meaningless events?
This week's question came to us by coincidence. We drove two hours
out of our way (four hours round trip) to use a vendor that we trust
and appreciate, even though we could have used someone locally. When
we arrived, one of our best friends drove in for an appointment at
the same time—a friend whom we had not seen in too long even
though we think of her all the time. Was the universe at work to get
us back together? Was it a reminder to never neglect important
people in our lives? Or was it a simple meaningless fluke?
|
Maria
Holden, MA
|
"Yes,
I believe coincidences are more than just chance happenings. I think
it's important to acknowledge these meaningful events to see if
there's something we need to be paying attention to in our life.
It's not always obvious, but it
doesn't hurt to stop and think about it." |
Adrienne
Holden, MA
|
We asked Adrienne,"Do you believe in coincidences?"
"Oh yes, I do."
Then her mother
asked,
"Adrienne, do you know what 'coincidence' means?"
"Ah,
no, I don't."

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be
honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that
you have lived and lived well."
~ Ralph Waldo
Emerson
"Power at its best is
love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love
correcting everything that stands against love."
~
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The only real moral
crime that one man can commit against another is the attempt to
create, by his words or actions, an impression of the contradictory,
the impossible, the irrational, and thus shake the concept of
rationality in his victim."
