Mazes?

An article entitled "Get lost in these amazing mazes!" has some great photgraphs to accompany the text. And a maze can be fun...only problem is, they included at least one labyrinth in the article and they're just not the same thing!


A maze has been created to make you think! You need to remember where you've been and keep in mind where you're going and yes, you CAN get lost. Ever watched the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"? It has a real, live, wicked maze (and I do mean live!).

On the other hand, a labyrinth has only one way in and one way out. There are no unecessary detours. It is meant to be used spiritually. For meditation, for prayer or as a pilgrimage. Personally, I love labyrinth's but a maze? Not so much...
