During my last few visits to Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre I have watched this man laboriously removing all the weeds from between the stones of the labyrinth by hand. A huge task.
His patience and dedication to his task is to be admired.
I have walked this labyrinth many times and never fail to be moved by the feelings I have as I walk. To me it is a special place and I am so pleased to see it is being looked after again with the covid enforced neglect becoming a thing of the past.
There is something Zen-like in this photo (to me anyhow) as we imagine this man moving along stone by stone. Your story is very moving, Ian. I can see that this labyrinth has profound significance for you. Thank you for your narrative (and fav for the photo :)
