The Lakewood Labyrinth
Somehow it never occured to me that I might one day desire to walk a labyrinth. However, as I was driving home a few days ago I saw a message posted on the digital sign that advertises services, classes, lectures, and events held at the Mile Hi Church Center For Spiritual Living (located at the corner of Alameda and Garrison) that stated "Walk our labyrinth anytime".
The digital message board on the Mile Hi Church Center For Spiritual Living in LakewoodWhich sparked my curiosity, not solely to walk the labyrinth mind you, but for the fact that it was something I could do anytime. Thoughts of getting up at 3:00am and driving to the labyrinth bounced around in my head as I drove.
I also had thoughts along the lines of "Why does the Mile Hi Church Center For Spiritual Living have a labyrinth? Is it like the labyrinth of Greek mythology that was designed to keep the Minotaur imprisoned? Is it full of confusing corridors that branch off left and right and have dead ends that force a person to turn around and try a different right or left turn? Or is it more like a Victorian era hedge maze that people meander through but can't really get lost in because the hedges are kept short so the way out can readily be seen?
My knowledge of labyrinths being fairly limited (just the Greek mythology and David Bowie movie is about all the labyrinth knowledge I possess), I decided yesterday that I needed to investigate the Mile Hi Church Center For Spiritual Living labyrinth.
But not at 3:00am. I figured it was best to approach what could possibly be a confusing maze in the middle of a sunny afternoon.
The Mile Hi Church Center For Spiritual Living is a huge complex - it sits on 15 acres and can boast the largest domed building in Colorado. That dome is both unique and impressive - I can clearly recall it being built back in 2008 because of the method used to build it. Basically, a huge balloon was inflated (well, a huge half-balloon), then a huge rebar skeleton was built around the entire balloon, then the rebar-reinforced balloon was coated with concrete - seriously, that's how it was done. It was interesting to watch the process.
knowing all that I was prepared for a labyrinth of impressive stature.
That is not the case.
