Sometimes getting lost is the best way to be found.

Labyrinths have been part of human civilization since antiquity, often serving a spiritual or meditative purpose. There are a few different types, but the classical labyrinth usually consists of a single pathway that loops back and forth to form seven circuits, bounded by eight walls, that surround the center.

Some Christians have incorporated walking labyrinths into the spiritual discipline of the community. The Chartres Cathedral has a labyrinth in the floor of the church where it serves as a tool for contemplation, meditation, and prayer.
