Visitor Reflections
Aerial view
This page is a transcription of reflections written in the book at the entrance to the labyrinth since 2013, or put in the comment box since 2020. Written reflections are transcribed here about twice a month. This page contains no reflections during a period in 2019-2020 when an unhappy person repeatedly removed the comment book until the book was replaced by the comment box. New comments may not be added here when the typist moves on, and this website may disappear when the website fee is not paid. Hopefully the labyrinth will live on for a while, but nothing lasts forever.
Italics (like this) indicate words that were not written by visitors to the labyrinth. If the transcription shows the last name followed by an initial (“Katie J”) then Katie provided only the initial of her last name. If Katie wrote her last name in full, the transcript provides only the first letter of her last name followed by an underscore: “Katie J_” (because Katie might not want her full name on the internet). Mis-spelled words have been corrected (unless the mis-spelling seemed deliberate), periods and commas have been added, and obscenities deleted. If you do not find your comment here, someone removed the paper with your comment. The forward slash "/" indicates a line break in a poetic text. Many people drew hearts (♥), smiley faces (☺), or peace symbols (☮), and a few people drew a symbol for"om" (ॐ), yin-yang (☯), infinity (∞), ☼, ★, or ☾.
The transcribed comments & reflections:
(This entry was stamped on the front page of the book in early April 2013:)
You are never alone. Life is an opportunity. Feel it. Live it. You are capable of anything. Do not be afraid to show gratitude, no matter what it will always help you grow. We are all connected, and you are my divine. Through love we can raise our vibrations and bring this world to a higher place. We are timeless. Together we are everything. Namaste. KJ

Hello Stranger, My day was hectic and I stumbled across this. It was really a way to clear my mind and reflect in the solace offered by this labyrinth. I hope it helps you too. Also, do not ever give up. Like this labyrinth, your life is forged by you and you go at your pace. You are a beautiful individual and I hope you find yourself, even it is not here. Do not forget to smile either. Love always, Bethanie ♥
Things scattered about – pain and grass, rusted trash, all these things scattered about. I take this journey on my way out which I knew nothing about. But it’s OK its just fear. All that I need is everything here.
Like attracts like.

The sun is but a morning star.
7/28/13. Today I encountered the labyrinth located near my home in Flagstaff. This labyrinth helped to give me a new understanding and perspective on the simpler things in life. When I first entered the labyrinth I felt nothing. The signs seemed to explain that it helps relax and focus your mind. Within minutes my mind was enlightened and all other thoughts and worries simplified. This process helped me not take for granted things that could be taken away tomorrow. Life is a beautiful thing which can be hectic and I left that this labyrinth helped to focus my heart and soul. Thank you. – Brian L.
I keep coming back to this special place & it warms my heart each time. Today I share this visit with my special lil’ sis. XO - Jordan

I have started coming to this labyrinth as a way to meditate and now it has become part of my spiritual well-being. Each time I complete a circuit I find my connection to it grows stronger and I depart with a feeling of peace and solace. I like to leave gifts in the labyrinth to bring a sense of wonder to all others who walk it. I come here often so maybe you’ll meet me here one day. – Anjel.
27 Aug 2013. Peaceful dawn after 3 days of rain. Blooming here today: scarlet gilia, scarlet gaura, orange mallow, snakeweed, thinleaf four o’clock, redroot buckwheat, pale aster, purple aster, wild geranium, goldenrod, wild chrysanthemum, white yarrow, wheeler’s thistle. Jah bless!

What if humans could fly? The travel agencies would collapse. It would start out as an experimental procedure. People would try to shut it down. The people who would survive would be the people in small towns like Flagstaff. The world would change. Thanks to Link for the idea.

10/18/13. This place is a symbol for my life. Every time I feel like I’d close to my goal my life path takes me further away from it. I’m making a lot of life decisions that are going to correct more than just me. I hope I’m making the right ones.

28 Oct. I felt walking the labyrinth was amazingly peaceful. It was nearly magical. I love the energy here and most definitely plan to return. – Taylor
I love how the labyrinth takes you on a journey. It represents our lives and how it takes us in all sorts of directions – the beauty in this, however, is that every step of the way is filled with hope and discovery. We reach our destination in time, but realize that it was the walk the adventure that was more meaningful. God had a plan for each of us – one filled with adventure and discover – trust that plan – trust that path – trust the light set forth ahead of you – understand that there is hope, that you are beautiful – and that you will find peace. CG
Life is a beautiful thing – cherish it, love it, discover it. The labyrinth represents how you have a path in life, take it as you go, trust God, because in the end he will lead you to what you desire. – Brianna D.

Nothing is permanent. Only love is eternal. Bring yourself back here again again, it is your home. Peace. Be happy.
Dec 3, 2013. I’m 21 years old and I cut myself for the 1st time 3 weeks ago. I was at my lowest point and felt so alone. And afraid. But there is so much beauty all around – like this simple labyrinth – how can I not see love in it? I have rediscovered my joy and found my loving friends. I am thankful for them in this season. ♥ BRS
12-13-13. Yesterday was hard on me emotionally but coming here reminded me that even in your worst days, remember to appreciate all that you have. Tell those who mean the most to you how special they are. Some are waiting to hear it. ♥ RRS

1-23-2014. Live is difficult. We must accept that. When you can accept that, the fact the life is difficult then becomes irrelevant. Life, then in a sense becomes easy. Kelan, in the end everyone will be happy. That is what I truly want the most. Love, Vinh L_
1-24-14. An analogy shared by a good friend… Many people view the heart as a cup that is filled with love, spreading the love sparingly so as not to run out. What is forgotten is that love is an endless reservoir… an ocean, that cannot be depleted. So, your heart can always be full of love to be shared… There is NO limit. I love you and you are always with me as am I with you. You are infinitely great. Kelan. PS Your dog is eating a tree right now. ♥

Welcome to the labyrinth. Lauren 1/25
1/28: Nirvana, Zen, locked in, the zone. All of these things come from one place. It’s a mind state. There are no pills no magic chants, nothing truly special that you have to do to reach these places. I have mecca built. It’s alive in my head. A sandy shore. A palm hut. Nothing on the inside other than a comfy chair to think and a sink with fresh water. It’s always sunny here. It’s the place I go when the rest of the world seemingly turns its back. And I never felt closer to my place than right now. The labyrinth clears your head. It reminds you that you can try to map out where you are going, try to look ahead. But as soon as you take another step, you’re looking a whole new puzzle. The labyrinth doesn’t make me feel lost and hopeless like the name might suggest. It reminds you that all you need for a new look on life is one more step. CTR.E 1/28/13
To think I first ran from my apartment and bolted down the Urban Trail to run away. Away from my problems, my fears, my inadequacies. And to my surprise, I find this place. I won’t lie, at first I thought the sign was college joke but what a pleasant surprise to find it wasn’t. I always tell myself I know it takes two to tango, that requires two people to argue. But I let the one I love most dance alone. How silly I am to have never noticed all this time. I believed I was the only one hurting but in fact I was causing it. I thank the labyrinth, the pleasure walk down corridors were a blessing, and once I reached the middle and the wind chimes started chiming as I gazed upon the trinkets, I came to realization. I am not alone. – Mimi, February 7, 2014

Thank you for a wonderful journey. Mine was filled with quietness, reflection, and truth. Not often do I find many experiences that fulfill those qualities. We are creatures of the earth but very often I forget this. I love being surprised and amazed by others, and this journey definitely accomplished that. Thank you again. Best, Corley B, 2/23/14 Phoenix AZ.

3-7-2014. Never been up here before, but I came here with my friends thinking it would be nice story to tell Chloe, a girl I like. Got to the center of the maze and left a Satyr token card from Magic the Gathering and the ticket I got from a hypnotist show I saw at the beginning of my freshman year. Left ‘em, prayed, and then I got a text from one of my underclassmen from high school who I consider a little sister. I love her so much like family. Frank F_

After a while I got this pen to work and I would like to tell you why I left Donatello in the center. I purchased him as a child and that keychain was my rock, my salvation, my redemption. As a child my stepfather mentally, physically, and sexually abused me the keychain represented something I idolized and wanted to become. I held it every night and went to sleep always thinking tomorrow would be better, I will be better. I finally have the courage to part with it because I have come to terms and found forgiveness in my hear. To whoever picks it up I it does same for them. Signed, a mended heart

Thank you, this place brought peace to me. After reading some of what people here said, I think everyone who comes here feels the magic in this place. Love is the key to everything, the meaning of life. Love yourself, love others, love everything. Appreciate the positive. Accept the negative. And be happy for the next breath you take. – M.C.

I accidentally happened upon this place with a friend and a dandelion and I finally knew my wish and blew: I wish that my life manifests into a labyrinth that whichever path I choose finds me in bright, positive, beautiful places like here. I love you J ♥ Elyse J
5-3-14. I stumbled upon this place in the afternoon when I looked up and saw a group of people walking in strange ziz-zag patterns looking at the ground. At first I thought I was witnessing some strange cult but walking closer revealed to me the labyrinth. I kept thinking the whole time that I want to bring a dear friend of mine here to experience it with him. I think I’m still holding out hope that in such beautiful places as this he could fall in love with me.
Today Elyse M_ & Torey Z went on a wonderful adventure! More to come…

“I see God in their suffering eyes, which are reflected in mine.” So I will serve with Kayla’s conviction. Note: Kayla Mueller (of Prescott and NAU) used these words to explain why she was going to Syria to help victims of the Syrian civil war; she was kidnapped by terrorists in Syria on 4 August 2013. Kayla was murdered by the terrorists in Feb 2015 (5 months after this commenct was written). She was 26 years old.

There's nothing left to say anymore... She's right in saying that. Who knew you could f** up so many times in a year and 10 months. No apologies will win her back, no words can even wavr save a friendship. Sometimes things happen for a reason but I just wich this hadn't. I think that out of all the things I have ever missed, wheter it's basevall, my family, or my firends, I definitely miss her the most. The's right... there really is nothing left to say anymore and until I find the words again I will always feel completely lost. S ___
Lately all I've been thinking is how everything is my fault... all the pain I've been through, every person that's hurt me, every migraine and headache UI've gotten. So many people have hurt me and the only common factor in any of the situations has been me. If I'm the only common factor it has to be me that's the problem, right? I feel like I deserve all the pain I've been through. I feel like I don't deserve to be happy, I don't deserve my friends that hold me together when all I feel is broken. AB
9-29-2014 Today I came here with my second family because I couldn't be with my first & foremost. Can I admit something? I thought I was with some really good friends last year and they ended up leaving me. So is it bad that I'm scared the same thing is gonna happen again? I know they say the love me and will always be be here fore me but there's still a part of me that's afraid of getting hurt of left behind. I'm usually very open about just about everything but I'm afraid that's gonna hurt me again like last year at about this time. That's why I miss my family and my mom most of all. Family is forever. RIP Tanya Fay, extraordinary wife and mother. Proverbs 3.
Why do I use the word "I" so much. Why.. all I want is there to be an Us or We. All I want is there to be US, a group I can call my friends that I can trust. For now I feel like we are a group and we are all becoming closer every day. I am so happy to have found some friends. I don't want to disappoint any of them or be disliked or create conflict at all. I would hate that to happen... or my roommate who is becoming another brother and I want him to be happy and I want to be fair... I will do anything to show them, all of you if you reading this, I really want to stay in your lives and you in mine... I will do anything to make sure that happens because I'm not losing my best friends again. I know this sounds desperate. The thing I love most in this world is to see a smile on all the people around me. That is more important than my own happiness, but at the same time I am happiest when others area, thank you all for showing me this place. Let's stay friends. Daniel A. L.
I'm sorry to the people I've hurt. I'm sorry. I sorry grandma that you had to go through this. I will miss you.
I will become a better person. I will learn to love myself. I will learn to be happy.
Bless it!
Bertes 10-7-2014 & Maggie 10-7-2014. I love you.

It's nice to come to the labyrinth to do something besides smoke and drink and waste your life away. Refreshing.
Take in all things given from the universe. No question is why to the stars. Make a wish.... watch... them come true. And always give thanks along with praise to all things greater, You & Me. 5/30/95 Awake.

Allie - imagine life as beauty. This place defines it.
There are few words to describe the transformational beauty of the labyrinth. It is as if I have died and had a beautiful rebirth. I forfeited my soul to be cleansed by the labyrinth.

Nov 1. We sit in the calm of dusk, on this bench, together. Watching the clouds pass by, there is happiness and peace. The storm is passing and sure enough, the sun will shine again. All our love. M&D ♥
Nov 1st 2014. Tried. The word that had more meaning than Happy. Past, present, and no future hit my mind. You know words - use them. You have a brain - think. You have a heart - love.

As the wind blows and the sun shines I sit and listen to the bell chime. It was the first of November, I think you remember the night before, it was long burnt and embered. Bowls o' plenty, water bottle empty. This day need be easy, relaxation comes simply. A pabst blue ribbon blows in the wind. And the sunshine of silence, as the bell chimes in. - Uriah
Today I listened to the earth. I'm learning how to breathe. Let go and be happy and let the wind take away my worries. I'm learning how to calm down and how to love.
This is truly beautiful. Take the path and clear your mind. - A. Russell Nov 9, 2014

I would rather my spark burn out in a fiery blaze than to let it smolder in the ashes.
Dec 2014. Soaring in the skies that had always been beyond his reach, he felt like a champion, feet kicked the ground, arms bound in the feathers of his father's labor, which a little while later would be ashes, vapor. Cumbersome limbs, he heard the wind speak every time he made his wings beat. His father flew before him, and so the course was set. He said "Don't fly by the waves because your wings will get wet. But don't fly to high that the sun melts the wax, stay on my path son, follow my tracks. But Icarus, enamored with the feeling of flight, had to soar higher, get closer to the light. Beneath him was the world he left behind in search of better things, but to achieve that freedom he sacrificed everything. /Icarus, come out of the sky, you're flying too high. /Icarus heed your father's word, this isn't your territory. /No one even noticed when he fell and hit the sea. /If he needed help, would he have asked for it? /Probably he thought he was invincible, but on principle he burned. /So we who have never flown could learn from what he did. /If we burn, you burn with us.
Awesome!!! x3.
On 3 Dec 2014, a jury did not indict the NY police officer who put Eric Garner in an illegal choke hold. Garner's last words: "I can't breathe." If I can't breathe, you can't breathe. If you can't breathe, I can't breathe. Breathe.
Today I learned that you may be expecting to go one way, but end up in the complete opposite direction. It's okay to have to step over puddles & duck under trees, because life has twists & curves & it's okay to take a wrong turn. When you struggle, you need only walk the path in your mind & remember that you always have a center, you always have a home, & you always have someone that loves you. Bee 12/14 PS Santa Claus is having a photo shoot below.
Today's experience filled me with calmness & closure. I have many wonderful memories in this space, shared with wonderful people. Flagstaff & this labyrinth have taught me a lot and will remain in my heart forever. Until next time... XO Jordan 12/14
My name is Flynn. I'm on my 11th tab and today I walked into the woods broken and left confident.
Jan 1 2015. Just returned to Flagstaff from the tropics and found a foot of fresh snow on the labyrinth. So peaceful. So lovely. The world is grand. Life is good.
I feel like you built this labyrinth just for me. Wow. You must really love me. But you have not met me. Well, it's a small town, maybe you have met me. But how did you know I would come? Thank you anyway.
Jan 8 2015, just after the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris. Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill of die for. And no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace...
Jan 9, 2015. Je suis Charlie. Je suis Achmed. I am not afraid, at least not personally. But I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will suffer and die - most of them Muslims killed by Muslims - before Muslims and the rest of us find a way to live together in love.
All you need is love. I need love too. So does everyone.
Jan 11. What a muddy mess at the labyrinth today. It cannot be walked. Instead I stand here quietly and imagine walking it.... Hmmm, that works, kinda. I'll return when it is frozen.
Namaste. You are a beautiful being of light. Feel your soul and breath ignite in violet flame. We're all the same human consciousness expressing itself in so many ways. Lovely. You are here alive for a cosmic transformation. Be here now. I love you.

The labyrinth is like life itself. From moment to moment your direction, your path is changing. It is a long journey, but it's up to you to make the best of every moment no matter which direction you may be headed.
It's a pile of rocks! I walked immediately to the center. Get over your poetic h_s_ J

☮ To whomever may read this. It was written March 30th 2015. Hello! I take this walk, like you might, to understand myself, who I am, my worth, my limitations. I enjoy the quiet that the night brings, the peace it sets, the beauty the moon brings. Understanding tonight that as an Artist I am lost and blessed at the same time. Blessed with the ability to see beauty. Cursed with forever wondering. Know you are loved, blessed, and not alone. ♥ Love yourself always. Bless this world.
If you feel unloved, I ♥ U! Bring with your energy ♥!

Embrace the beauty this world gives you. Man is lost without being able to appreciate it. I come here to clear my head. When I need peace, I find it here. Love lots, A stranger, a sister the Artist.

April 5th 2015. You start the labyrinth looking at the overall picture. Trying to determine where goes where, if there's and easier way, but then you place one foot in front of the other and begin to walk. As I walked everything faded away, the overall picture of the maze, the beautiful woman who had brought me to this spot, the world. I started noticing the small things along the way: pieces of pottery, beads, glass, tine. The small broken bits of brick, broken sticks in the path. Funny, this is like life. The small things, the journey. It is not what is at the end of life's labyrinth that matters; it is the small things, the memories, the journey itself that is the prize. It is the moment I shared with this beautiful woman, watching her hair brush her face in the breeze, the sun glisten on her skin. It was the wind through the trees, the beautiful memory I just made. Life will always be about the little things, and the people we share our adventures with. - Stacy K.
April 5th, 2015. On this beautiful Easter day, I decided to walk the labyrinth for my second time. This time with better company who would take it more seriously. That is the key. Relax... listen to the wind, the birds, the trees swaying, the wind chimes. Let them be your music. ~Enjoy your time...~ It's truly about the small things in life. Let the wind play with your hair as a lover should. Release your inner hippie. Let your worries blow away, just for a moment. Live your life... ♥ B.

4/21 Today while walking to the labyrinth I witnessed a woman rock climbing up a cliff and struggling to get to the top, questioning herself. Her guides just kept telling her she could do it, and as I got to the center of the labyrinth, I watched her hoist herself to the top. She clearly had not done this before. She just said "Wow, knowing how to climb and actually doing it are very different things." I was so fortunate to see her triumph and apply it in areas I'm still learning. - Shannon A.

April 30th 2015. I moved out here from NY about 2 months ago. I've walked along this trail many times before and just stumbled on the labyrinth today. I have been seeking inner peace and forgiveness for the wrong I've done in my past and I have found it. Life is beautiful in all of its aspects. Humans together can create such incredible energy when shared with an open heart and mind. Thank you for bringing such a peaceful spot for everyone to enjoy. May all beings be happy and free. ॐ Namaste.

(Note left on center rock): Under the light of the moon, I can't see what I'm writing, but to all humans reading this, this is a reminder that you are cosmic energy expressing itself in a physical body. Sit down somewhere and breathe because it's so beautiful to be alive, every cell in your body bathed in golden light. What you imagine is real, smile on this day because you are expanding human consciousness just by being aware of your breathing. Fill yourself with light because it feels good. I love you. Many blessings on your journey.

5-4-2015 ♥ CNL Life is the labyrinth and the labyrinth is a metaphor for so many concepts. When you begin you can see the goal (the center) so clearly and feel very close to it, as if you are right next it it, but you are really far away. Then when you are traveling towards the center there are times when you feel lost and can't seem to see how close you really are. Ironic. The outermost circles are the farthest away from the goal but then you are actually closer to it than you'll ever be (until you get there). Then after 155.5 Roman paces (for me) the center/goal has been reached. Now what? Circle around in the ceremonial, reverent manner. Kneel, reflect, realize I am here and the possibilities in front of me are endless. Now going back: a different type of journey, not just the reverse of getting there. See it all from a different view. Remember the things I know I can do and how I want to do them. Can't wait to write it all down. Focus on the steps I take and being mindful of the young oak tree growing between the rocks. Back out... Strange, it took more paces coming out than going in.
5-5-2015 I've stopped on my way back to write this. It's the second half of my journey. Feels a bit like my life. I've already hit the mid point at age 50, and now I'm 64 walking out my days to their conclusion. I'm told that is another beginning, where perhaps I start a second big journey. I must say I'm very thankful to have a guide and guides, to have a companion and companions on the way... Also I'm very glad this isn't a maze designed to confuse, but rather this has a destination, even a helpful purpose, even when it seems the opposite. Thanks!
5/9/2015... Day #14. Still trapped in the labyrinth. Danny passed out from dehydration. We had to eat him, it was the only choice. Food supplies are dangerously low, who knows who will die next. The voices have gotten louder. They whisper for me to abandon those who are left and come back and drag them away in the dark. The labyrinth calls to one. It's twisting walls say to stop looking for the way out and just make this place into my new home.
May 9, 2015 Walking thru the maze, found something amazing along the way. Snow fall became dark and mystery - a land of fairies we came across and led us this way and we found...???? Sophia, Chad, and Kayla

The whisky is warm, the conversations are good (feminism, video games, toe shoes?). We're going a bit further down the trail.

Aug 3. One of my favorite authors once compared life to a labyrinth. And we search for a path to follow as a means to seek a great perhaps. Some of us have grand moments spent well. Others have small gestures that make life bearable. But whether we seek a great perhaps or seek only to find a quick way out, we all must remember that people will come & go. We will walk alone - a lot. But all we can do is make the best of every m7oment and be at peace with who we are and how we act. - Dice.

When we were at the center the grasshoppers began to buzz. Interestingly, they quieted after we left. They don't like us. Oh well. We'll return on another day. J

September 14, 2015. I am intensely burning bright. I am divine energy and purpose, and so are you. Yet in this tiny litter facet I've created and decided to express myself as, I feel so alone, despite the oneness of the universe. I'm not complaining or seeking pity. I just wonder why I express such sadness, pure sadness over such a perspective. I know when I was reborn into this world, I decided to live life with my chosen challenges of emotional, physical, and spiritual nature. To some degere all of our challenges are very much alike. That is unifying, isn't it? Haha. Anyhow I say ignore the naysayers, even if that naysayer is you! Be who you were born to be. If you don't like who you are currently, change yourself for your personal betterment. I can do it. You can do it. Let's all be as epic and beautiful as we can be.

♥ 9-18-15 I don't know if I'm going crazy or if the world is actually changing. I feel different from everyone I meet. I feel strange attractions to others. I feel as though I have awakened. I am in the process of awakening. There has to be more to life than what society is feeding to us. I'm tired to working and going to school every day just to be too exhausted to follow my true path. I want to be able to trust people. I wish the world wasn't so cruel. I know I can make a difference. I started to wake up when I met my twin flame. He is married to another. So it's unlikely that we'll ever be together. But he is the reason I started to see the world differently. There's supposed to be a mass ascension on Sep 28. Who else out there feels similar to me? So far, I feel alone in this. --Striving for ☮ ☯

(Night of the blood moon total eclipse)
9/27/15 Super-blood-moon eclipse hike that's off to the moon on acid what an amazing experience except I just had to smash a spider with my phone. That was awful. The first time I saw an eclipse I was really young, like six. My parents explained that a shadow was coming to cover the moon. While they told me this, I watched the blinking lights of a plane flying towards the moon and I assumed that the plane cast the shadow. Something like a large guided blanket coming to obscure the moon. SJW.
It is truly daunting to experience the vastness of a shadow cast on the closest foreign body to our planet. A shadow in the night to snuff out our light. A peek at the beyond.

October 24, 2015. Tequila sunrise/NAU homecoming day. On my run today, I saw drunken college boys (definitely not men, but dickless boys) at the labyrinth. They broke the metal box that holds the visitor comment book, smashed the sign, and took away the comment book. How pathetic. A loser is someone who tries to destroy something that other people find beautiful. A loser thinks that being destructive makes him powerful, but it makes him weak and pathetic. A winner is someone who tries to make the world a better place. A winner always succeeds because by the very act of trying, the winner does make the world a better place.

What seems like a disaster today might be forgotten before you know it. Live like it matters.
Nov. 1, 2015. Grateful for the peace and serenity of this moment. 11:45 AM
I came and this is the only mark I leave other than footsteps, both soon to disappear. With gratitude. November 1, 2015.
Nov. 5, 2015, I came across this while I was walking. Today was a hard day. I don't really know where I am walking or why but I feel lost. Falling, faster & faster towards the cement. I feel as though I am alone all the time. Like I can't breath. I feel as though I am surrounded by people who don't care about me. I try to do stuff for people. If they need me I want to be there. Though I feel like if I were to ever need them, or to tell them how deeply depressed I am, they wouldn't be there. I know this is irrelevant to anyone, but since no one will ever know that it's me writing this I feel like I can be honest. I cut myself today. It's been a while since I last did that. I don't know why I do it. Maybe because it make the pain dissipate for a minute, or maybe because I'm so good at hiding the pain that it's a remembrance that it's still there even though no one knows about it. I already covered it though, because pain scares people. People don't want to be around someone who hates themselves. So to everyone around me I'm happy. Don't worry friends, insults don't hurt me. You can call me a slut of make fun of how I look or dress. I just laugh it off. They all think it doesn't bother me. They don't know how much pain their words cause. I just stay quiet. I don't know where I am going to walk right now but half of me hopes I get lost.
Nov 13. (on same page as Nov 5 note) You are not alone. I feel very similar. I suffer from an anxiety disorder and it plagues me every day. But know sometimes we manufacture our own problems, problems that aren't really there. In reality we are not alone and there are people who care about you. It just takes time to open up to your surroundings. It's hard I know but everything will be all right.
9:18 PM Nov 5. I'm alone and I'm stoned and I don't know what to do. My mind is going crazy. Constantly thinking of you. J
9:20 PM, Nov 5, 2015. I came here earlier today when I was walking around alone. Now I brought my friend J to see it tonight. I was pretty depressed because a lot has been going wrong recently. I just have been having a bad few weeks. I really hope things will get better. I wish you all the happiness I can. ♥ me

11.11.15. I loved you with every ounce of my soul, with every breath, heart beat, and step I took. You consumed me in every way... But... you left me. Took it all with you. Every memory, laugh, and smile. I plunged. But today, I grew, I learned to love myself, love each moment of each day. I LOVE ME. This is for every girl, boy, man, woman who has ever doubted their self-worth. You do not need anyone in your life who does not need you. Today I have been set FREE. ♥ K.S.

3/23 I have passed this place nearly every day on my walk to and from work since moving here in August, and have never once stopped. Tonight on my way home I felt the spirit move me to stop, and I did. I have walked numerous labyrinths similar to this one in my life, mostly in churches, and it feels comforting, simple, peaceful, like I am at home. There is god in this place. It is so simply clear. I have abandoned my meditation practice, but this walk reminded me so simply and clearly of the importance of presence in the moment, compassion, patience, and peace. Thank you a thousand times over to whoever created and maintains this place. It is a gift.
3-24-16 Spectacular! ♥ Thank you - Donna V.

March 26th 2016. I've been here to this special place before and I've had great days but if feels really good to sit on a rock sometimes and reflect on all of those good things. And not take it all for granted. Focusing my energy on the good things in life only will create more. Today I'm grateful for the two people sitting beside me. Life if pretty good.

For self: I love you. I'm sorry, please forgive me. Thank you.
The heart does skirt the desert and dives in the shaded pool.
A panic racks the sickened mind. The mind no longer minds. the body's fragile egg enters torrents of terror like waves of fury Bent down the soul that resides within each thought, births new ideas all which seem to seek a gray place of understanding. each mistake manifests itself as terror, a fear designed to steal the soul. life comes to a head like a volcano the pressure has built. Once the mountain blows it will never be the same. Pieces can be found littered form miles. what's left of the passion and pain. If life was meant to be perfect it would be so. The evidence on an existence born of chaos ingrained in every person. The desire the magnetic pull towards destruction chance and impulse. So main beauty born from the depths of change. The most beautiful flowers that smell so exotic, the effect is immediate intoxication, a sensation without rival. a feeling of freedom known only to the winged beast. A passion so pure to partake is to be nourished, through love a freedom is found without depth. Pure freedom flows like a river for those who would take the plunge. A word to the wise... hate looms like a shadow. Always trying to pervert the beautiful. A cunning spider weaves webs for the unprepared. She sits in wait as beautiful as any goddess. As lethal as a bullet through the heart. to see her is to fee lust, a perverse desire so consuming many can't look away, after that first glance. an unforgiving goddess showing loyalty to none, those that worship knew power, fame, and fortune that only a god or goddess can supply. Her price is high.
Like spring. /a place demands your attention /a full step in color /walk slowly /to the refrains
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone. ♥ It's not unusual to be hugged by NE1.
Walk through the labyrinth with a partner. /see your pathways wind /parallel and near /suddenly here /Suddenly far /All the while weaving /threads into braids /loose ends into knots /what a pattern you'll trace /from the same distance apart.
16 April Thank you for this today. Much needed peace. Nothing inspiring to say but I'm just letting you know I'm here, universe. Cheers! - C____

IF, by Rudyard Kipling. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue /or walk with kings nor lose the common touch /If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you /If all men count with you, but none too much. /If you can fill the unforgiving minute /with 60 seconds worth of distance run, /yours is the Earth and everything it in. /And -which is more - you'll be a man, my son! -- Calum & that girl from the last page.

4-22-16 I came up to visit my girlfriend and we found this place, decided to give it a try. Didn't really feel the place was all that special till reading these notes with her and seeing her smile. I'll definitely be back with her again.
4-21-2016 Full moon. We discovered this through some fellow travelers, shortly after we arrived in Flagstaff after getting a ride from Winslow. Everyone we encountered was a treat and a blessing. Our new friends brought us here and we shared a meditation and herb. It was very grounding and connecting, so very refreshing after a long 10 days since leaving home, 1500 miles with no direction. This helped remind me to be patient, and mindful with my actions, to be open to explore and share love and union, having the wisdom to filter the energy in a positive way. I feel so blessed to be here in the state I have grown. This journey may have pulled me into the current of a powerful river, though I have my raft and I know how to swim and am ready for the ride. I call for love, community, creation, and healing, for myself and the greater whole. May we all find the connection to each other and our home, spreading light in the darkness... -Chelsea Sherwood, Denton TX

Please read - I hope I can help. J Stay away from the temptations of evil. Money is the root of most. Do not fall into the system, Do not pick up the patterns of bad peers, do not let others control your life. Nobody but you can become you and what you want yourself to be. Follow dreams not instructions. Nothing should restrain you from living the life that you want to live, but most importantly, love life. Love yourself, what you do, where you are because you were meant to do so. Love others, it's the only proper way to receive love back. Pay attention to karma. Live with balance. ☯ Love, live, and light up! Let the light shine. -- Emcee, Ian.

Hello, This is my first time at the labyrinth and I am trying to write something motivating and inspirational. Circumstances change, material possessions lose their luster, and all you are left with is who you are and the relationships you have built. What seems like a disaster today might be forgotten before you know it. Live like it matters.
Dear You, In this crazy thing we call life, I want you to know that you are enough. You are incredible! You are made of so much more than you think you are. You are made of power. You are made of light. You were made to make manifest those feelings and mysterious brilliances that you glimpse in yourself when you are truly at peace. To all those spectators who watch you or for all those who don't... Do it for you, because you are worth it. Inspire, Love, Help, Lift, and Encourage. ♥ Love, Me

5-25-16 Today has been beautiful to say the least; a perfect day for today. I am blessed to be alive, in good health, and surrounded by loving friends.

Thank you.
If you learn anything from my words, know to never give up. I know it sounds cliche' but somehow most of us forget. Live is a blessing. Whether or not you believe in afterlife or religion, understand that this thing we call life is a gift and on earth it does not last. So find your purpose and never stop believing in what you want achieve, Remember that failure is a man-made concept. One cannot fail if they never give up. By seeing "failure" as a temporary setback we recognize that our journey is not yet complete. You have complete control of your destiny. Take Charge!

I have faith in the good things, even when they are hard to accept. Why wouldn't I deserve anything but love and happiness?
Have you ever felt so much peace? Well I started out that way the first few steps into the labyrinth. I tied my dog to a stone to make my journey to the center seem more spiritual and find my center in silence. But my dog chewed through the leash and I had to run after her. Well now my dog is running around nearby. I will come back and try this again. D.
Chimes jingle. it is sunny... rocks and dirt... wind is blowing... god is watching. It is like a forest but we can see houses from here too. By accident people come and see this, and read the sign, and walk the maze and write in this book. people come here and play and have fun. J Thank y♥u, ♥

Luke and Angela and Peter and Opal. Beautiful sunset walk with smoke from controlled burns turning the sky peach and purple. June 5, 2016
This is something like a promise. I write to solidify my ideas by allowing them to exist. I'm here as a promise to myself that I will be. I will consciously create my reality rather than let it be defined by other agendas. I have chosen to be BE. To Manifest Light into this world. Today a raven flew so close I could feel my hair move -- the universe was sending me a message to BE. Watching the orange sky and the peaks has me thinking about past mistakes. Past decisions that ended wrong, and some started out wrong. I'm a cheater, a liar, a slave to my desires. She is the only one who completes me but I long for other lovers. I'm sitting with a cigarette on my lips but I have yet to light the flame.I choose to live my life based on what I want and need. I'll be a better person.
If you need some beauty in your life. "I am vertical" by Sylvia Plath: I am vertical /but I would rather be horizontal. /I am not a tree with my root in the soil /sucking up minerals and motherly love /so that each March I may gleam into leaf, /Nor am I the beauty of a garden bed /attracting my share of Ahs and spectacularly painted, /Unknowing I must soon unpetal. /Compared with me, a tree is immortal /and a flower-head not tall, but more startling, /and I want the one's longevity and the other's daring. //Tonight, in the infinitesimal light of the stars, /the trees and the flowers have been strewing their cool odors. /I walk among them, but none of them are noticing. /Sometimes I think that when I am sleeping /I must most perfectly resemble them -- /thoughts gone dim. /It is more natural to me, lying down. /Then the sky and I are in open conversation, /and I shall be useful when I lie down finally: /Then the trees may touch me for once, and the flowers have time for me.

June 30, 2016. There once was a bird who got too cold and tried to keep flying south. His wings few heavy and he landed in a pasture. The bird closed his eyes, his flock flew on without him. He passed out. He awoke to find a cow was pooping on him. The poop was warm, but now he was trapped. He chirped loudly while he was trapped for hours. A passing fox heard his chirps, dug him out of the poop, and ate him. The moral of the story: Not everyone who poops on you is your enemy and not everyone who gets you out of poop is your friend. Most importantly, when you are in deep poop, keep your mouth shut and stay calm. - Damian

July 4 (Happy b'day America) 2016. I am here with my parents and my 3 sisters. I am 17 and I made it through the labyrinth alive. I am now on my way back.
July 4, 2016 I was here my sisters (sister 3 wrote the last comment), fell and hurt my knee (hit my bruise from ice skating). It hurts. ♥!

7-10-2016 "Round I go" Lost in my head, fading lessons from my past. I'll take in each breath as if my last. But in the morning the light shines anew.

So me and my friends were at a park and we spontaneously did acid, we ended behind another park and Sage was mumbling all this mad scientist mumbo jumbo but it was spontaneous and that was part of it. We said in the beginning of the night we weren't going to the labyrinth and yet here we area. Completely spontaneous.
7-14-2016 Today I discovered this book, no idea it existed. I feel an immediate peace and happiness just sitting here appreciating this beautiful mountain town that I am so lucky to call home. Enjoy the little things in life. "Don't you wish there was a way to know you were in the good ole days before you actually left them?" - the office ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Always treat strangers kindly. you never know when you are in the presence of an angel or alien.

7-16-16 I've been alone and pretty bored in Flagstaff and happened on this maze after walking around. Found this book and read the amazing stuff people have written and listened to the windchimes and didn't even feel bored, just peaceful. It's been a long year and not super great, but sitting here made me realize - you don't need a lot of friends to appreciate life. Don't let the bad days get you down. Now I feel cheesy, but I kinda needed to hear this myself. Love you all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (shout out to the other 17-year-old in this book!)

July 20, 2016 Love is around even when you don't think it is. J It's a funny thing, love is, it comes and goes and stays for a while when it comes. Don't be discouraged when it leaves, it come back around.

We would go on a hike but we literally did that.
What would happen if people took LSD instead of caffeine in the morning? Sage's case study. (5 page stream of words too illegible to transcribe.)
You are the reason and that's good because I'm always looking for a reason and the reason is you.
As I sit here in the labyrinth watching the sunset and enjoying the beautiful sounds of nature I think of all the beautiful people who have written in this book. I love you all. Thank you for your poems, drawings, and thoughts. You are beautiful and I love you.

It's okay not to be okay. I have to remind myself of that a lot. I fake being okay and I'm not sure anymore if I do it for other people or myself... I wish for once that I could say I'm okay and have it not be a lie. When do things get better?
(added on the same page in early September 2016) I know how you feel wanting to be okay... Try stepping out once in a while to feel the sun on your skin and enjoy the breeze and take a deep breath and say to yourself... you are alive. You are beautiful in every way possible inside and out. You are loved especially when you don't feel like it, I promise you. On one knows if things will get better but you will have days when you feel on top of the world, so hold on to those okay? I love you and so will everyone else.
Mellow with age - Don't rush it!
7-24-2016 This is a beautiful place. I've felt so disconnected lately, but I came here, found this book and sat down, and that at once a dozen very noisy grasshoppers started flying around. It's still again. I feel better now. We are all connected.
Life is never as you expect it. Blood family can turn on you. Friends aren't who they say they are and probably only wanted you for one thing. Your family is whoever you want it to be. My family is my boyfriend and 2 sons. I love them and can't live without them. Love as much as you can and as often as you can. Love!!! PS. I want my boyfriend to propose but he won't propose if I ask! This is me asking for the Universe! ♥ BHD 7-28-2016

My daughter Petra and me are here now. We are together now as I once was with my father. Soon it will be her turn to walk with her children.
You've reached the end. Here's an aquarium. Add some animals.
Some kids are bumping trap music in the neighborhood nearby.
Born here 63 years ago, 2 streets over. My Dad worked at the sawmill. I heard the steam train every day. The mill horn sounded at 4:00 every day too. Dad would be home in 15 minutes, smelling like axle grease and pine. My cousins and I would trap small animals in this canyon. Noise, traffic, too many people. Yea, good ole days gone. Luv u anyway!

Day 1: I somehow found myself wandering this labyrinth, got to the center and can't find a way to leave... Please help!
Day 2: I have decided to camp out at the center for the night. Maybe even sleep and wait for someone to venture upon me.
Day 3: Haven't made it out. No sign of people at all. I've decided drinking my own piss is my only survival. If you can read this... look for me.
Day 4: Stuck here, no one that's walked the labyrinth seems to sense my presence. I now know I'm forever trapped. I notice nobody uses both sides of these pages... Please do...
Day 5: Never thought it'd come to this... eating my own poop to keep my stomach from eating itself.
Day 6: I asked you to use both sides of the pages. Is that so hard? If this continues, instead of allowing you to enjoy your peace with the universe, I might keep the stress flowing till it eats you alive!
Day.. it doesn't matter: I've now accepted this as my fate, I watch over the labyrinth so that none may abuse it. - Good Day - PS I'll look over you all on your visits.
You are strong, purposeful, and loved by many ♥ Let love manifest your mind and you will be the most powerful wealthy being.
Life is a journey /Life is continual /Life is renewal /Life is a Circle /Life is giving and receiving /Life is about the open air /Beyond that and back on we are all opportunity.

8-22-2016 It's the start of my last year here at NAU and I am trying to come to terms with having to say goodbye. I'm saying goodbye to a lot of different people, memories, and locations. It's hard to accept. I have had many ups and down with NAU and I am a different person than when I started. I am not sure what I should take away from this experience. I will miss Flagstaff. I met my first love here and I'm graduating without him as we have gone separate ways. It's a whirlwind. I am glad I came to this place - it always makes me feel at peace. I hope I still feel that way when it comes time to leave. - M
8-24-16 Back to Flagstaff. /The fresh yet brisk aire as your elevation increase. /The clouds increase, the warmth grows as you get closer /The endless trees and infinite nature to appreciate /The random storms from nowhere precipitate /The great future to anticipate /The mountains magically relieve stress /The welcoming beauty and the friendly strangers /The grand majesty of Humphreys holding tremendous dangers /The green trees compliment the blue sky /The smile on my face when I don't need to try. /The fog resting waiting in the valleys /The dark storm clouds lingering rumbling waiting /The rain falling to the soul of the soil, replenishing /Recreating through precipitation ("waiting, waiting on the world to change") /The beautiful botanist accompanying me here today. /The peace and blessing the bees brought before they blew away /On a good day I usually have more to say /But today's a GREAT day so this labyrinth my attention must pay.

It's a Sunday, a very nice day. I don't want to be here, but I am. To be honest I don't want of need to be anywhere. No place to call home. I don't want to live anymore. I feel alone. I'm only 19 but feel incredibly old. I've been engaged, homeless, and heartbroken. I thought Flagstaff would be a new start but my demons followed me and I tired and don't want to continue. Will you help me? There are things I want to do. A road trip to New York, eating spaghetti, someone to say "I love you" with all their heart, waking up for sunrise on a beach with a cup of coffee and cigarette. Remember me when you walk the labyrinth.
(response to previous) I want to meet you. No one is alone! We are all here! Look for help.

10-9-2016 I miss you. After all this time, the only 3 words that come to me. You killed my heart not by leaving but the person you became. I feel nobody there, nobody to connect with. You my my soulmate, best friend... you were my person. I sat with you thru everything.. every hospital visit I was there wishing you would get better, praying, hoping, loving, but nothing worked. I am broken now. My I miss you, I pray for you, I still love. -- Until next time - forever heartbroken. have no idea what I am looking for so somewhere something is waiting for me. I feel the pull. I hope I find it soon.
Some days I feel tired, lost, alone, helpless, confused, and unable to get out of such thoughts. I fell death and wish it would come to me. Suicidal symphonies play all around me. Today I breathe. Today I love. Today I am trying. Today I am strong. Life is mysteriously blessings in disguise.
Time don't wait for nobody.

10-28-16. It is easy to fun about the labyrinth just to make it out the other side. If one is skillful and unafraid, one can embrace its mysteries and enjoy paths taken previously. There is no goal to achieve in it, if one listens and slows down enough to enjoy it, the labyrinth will unfold its many paths. Love, Robert
It's always darkest before the dawn. The substance that we are longing for has always left us needing more. Take a moment to realize what you have, and leave no stone unturned in your pursuit of the beautiful in yourself. You are the only thing keeping yourself from having everything that you desire. Take every mment to enjoy this life you've been given. This is all temporary. Happy trails, AJC

Living with now... no longer planning to live, but just doing it! We all share this planet. We all have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and nature. It's possible -- we are the future. Share your knowledge on how to love and live through truth. It's a way to achieve immortality in this world. -- Madison S__
The Golden Hour. I always appreciate this spot. The sun is arcing low in the south. Winter sun. I feel the dry air. I smell fires burning in the windy morning after a long cold night.

15 Nov 2016 Nature is cyclical. History is not a straight line by a an irregular spiral circling back on itself. We perceive everything as a first time because we want it to be ours alone but there is nothing that has not happened before and will not happen again. It's a lesson laid out before ue ready to be learned, but so few of us are ready to see... But not me... How about you? -JDC
The trees dance, the grasses say, the golden leave flutter. It is another beautiful day in Flag. The colors are fading out with the heat. I can see the eternal in a whisper, a blade of dry grass as the sun shines through. All is one, one ball, one love, one heart, one soul. ☮

Nov 28, 2016 Well it snowed and this pen is dying along with the bushes and animals around me so I'll make this quick. Sometimes things spiral out of control in life, like yesterday. Both of my roommates and myself had troubles and by "coincidence" dumb luck or miracle saved our lives. After looking death in the face, unimportant things drift away and you know what is important. Don't let fleeting things occupy your thought and time. Live what you're passionate about, all the way, roll with the changes, and embrace the struggle because it will make you stronger. Death is one of the most important parts of life. Eventually people and habits and things die, and yet something new continues. And its more complex and it's even better than before. This happens in nature, in yourself, in your relationships, and just about anywhere you think of. So have hope because it gets better. Gotta go, cold as hell out here. - Happy Trails

Cool.
The winter sun is faint and low /and the grasses grow pale with cold. /The clouds are still /the air is cool /yet again the church bells toll. /The shadows are long and it's only noon. /I see the eternal in the glowing bare branches of scrub.
Red. Dec 3, 2016
You will eat /by and bye /in the glorious land above the sky /Work and pray /live on hay /You'll get pie in the sky when you die!
I can see the mountain rolling deep /and the grasses flutter as the plains weep. /I've spent many a moon here in Flag / but I may be on my last. /The open roads of the country are calling /The time has come to go far. "But having gone far, it will return." ∞
The old tilted structures of Flag are visible from the street and yet glossed over by the passerby. A museum is not needed. the crumbling houses are inhabited. One can walk and observe a bygone era. What is it about this town? The foundations of the city are still visible. No need for pictures when we can see these buildings and alleys. Step out on a cool clear night. Smell woodsmoke in the air. Look: a classic house with smoke billowing from a metal chimney into the starry night. A crescent moon thru the trees. The night is still the stars are endless. The smoke smoke greets the stars and the stoner drags his joint and the band plays and the trains roll and wayfarers wander and the cats fight and the trees sway as the stars twinkle and the city is alive.
11:01 PM December 9 2016 I used to come here a lot last year and tonight is my virst visit this year. Always a good spot to stop. Scary how all the memories come flooding back when you see a spot for the first time in a while. I'm 99% sure my ass cheeks are frozen and if I had a penis it'd be cold and shriveled and begging for mercy, I'm not even on drugs this time. College if fun. - Jewl

Hello brothers and sisters! Welcome -Alien.
(paper left on center rock Dec 11) You exist distinctly from other people. You do not have to think their thoughts or feel their pain. Your experience of life can be uniquely your own, your needs can be different than their needs. Yet you can be empathetic to their needs and experiences. You can put yourself in their shoes for the moment, but you don't have to stay there. "Good boundaries are knowing where you stop and the other person begins."
You will never find happiness unless you reach out and grab it.

How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical receivers as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque as the nerves of the brain can experience itself as anything less than a god? Grateful to every grain of the Universe contributing to the very moment here.
We can surround ourselves with people all our lives but at the end of the day the only person you have is yourself. Your mind is yours and that is a beautiful thing.

Jan 11, 2017 “This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.” - Walt Whitman.

For Toya ♥ - Marcella, March 8 2017
Sweet pine, you lent your branch while the weeping willow wept in the cool spring air. You drank up my sorrow like a river that washes all the silt downstream. But your wilted branches became dry and troubled like me, and although you don't know why the willow weeps you felt it in your roots trunk and branches, and when your pollen blooms, you will understand.
Star daze, star dust, lotus flowers burst thru musk. Wherever the wind melts thru the shadows white lies to reveal the echoing heat of sunrise, it is really my heart revealing her innocent skin and diving in.
March 9, 2017 I'm back with the boys up in Flag, feels great to be here. Any ways shoots! - Brando
I ♥ you SOOOO much. Love & light. Boots & Cats.

March 11, 2017 Referring to the weeping willow, I see none... but should cry & C & I, I am convinced she's bowing to her creator... Likewise, though not bowing, rather standing at attention as mighty soldiers diligently seeking His return are mighty oaks and pine. --Pilgrim Douglas.

If you only got one eye, then oh my! If you got one eye on the destination, you only got one eye on the road. Peace.
I have found so many places similar to this on all my travels and all of them have the same familiar grand feeling that takes you for a moment out this world to one that helps you reflect on life. Enjoy. It took me too long to figure out how but its more simple than anything -- just let go.
How long is this? I had to stop about 2 hours in due to shortness of breath. I got up to finish and found myself lost. Still unable to escape... Entered about 26 days ago, I think. I can't keep track anymore, is it still 2001? I have a pair of brand new bell-bottoms I still wear. Hopefully someone reading this can help. I'll write my eulogy soon if I can... ♥ pHeve

Life is so incredibly beautiful. Each moment is perfectly filled with love and bliss if you actively choose to show up for the universe. Dismiss everything that insults your own soul. Life is too fragile and short to spent it doing things that do not fulfill you.

Mar 29. Ruby, Ivan, & Savannah ♥ Taking some awesome pictures. Really love this new little gem in Flagstaff ♥
It's been a long time since I last saw you and walked this path it's a trip through the past. I see vision of who I was and what I once thought. This maze has triggered many reflections. People can be so close yet unreachable. Everyone is see is following the path as best they can. When you pass by, pass by with a smile. Love is the purpose of life, give love and you are a being of light, let some of that light shine on yourself. As I walk the maze I find what I need. She speaks to me through the wind and sun and raindrops and says "If your path has spun your around and left you weary, take a second to reflect. It could be as easy as walking right on. If your path takes you nowhere, step off the trail. Open your eyes, let your spirit drive your feet." Good luck, friends. Brandon S__ 2017 almost April.

Dying to Live #1. I think I'm only happy when I'm sad... I love the idea of love.. but push it away when I have it. I'm in love with the world.. but I'm always harsh to me. I'm a hopeless romantic, and perhaps that's why I get high... I never wanted to hurt anyone else, only myself (slightly). You (whoever read this): I love you. unconditionally. this system failed us, don't fail yourself. - Trouble" T.K. on a lonely afternoon.
Dying to Live #2. I live on O'Leary and come her often to play my guitar for the birds and trees and those who stop to hear. I've been shooting up to try to fix my broken heart... it doesn't help. In trying to live again, I'm killing myself a little each time. You can see me downtown almost any day: I'm the punkrocker with sad eyes who smiles at strangers who often won't make eye contact, but that's OK I smile anyway. "I shoulder my loneliness like a gun, I refuse to aim." (Leonard Cohen). Some drink is yelling at me, I feel bad for him, like me lonely and unable to meet life.... Think what you will... I love all of you... Stop being a-holes to each other, this ride is so short. Laugh loud and often. Love as hard as you can. It's such a beautiful day and the fact it's finite makes it beautiful, like you. --Tyler Kimbell. April 13 2017.

I'm dying to live #5. Sunday afternoon, around 6 PM. Today was beautiful. The light, the colors, the feel of the wind in my hair as we played kickball in the spring sunshine. I am in love with the world! I come here to play the blues... I am so happy. I feel loose and it moves me to play music. I sound like a fool, but I write truth. I strike like the memory of a missed lover in the night. Raw, unfiltered. Thank you for showing me i am able to feel. You can forget this little note, but I will never forget writing it. I always flirt with death. It will kill me, but I don't care about it. The only one's another girl and/or planet. 1971. I love all of you with all my heart. Tyler K. 4-22-2017

June 7 2017. I came here to remember where I started before moving on. Now in my last summer here, I live closer than ever to this place. Not for long though.

I love coming here for some peace from this crazy world. Goodbye for now, Flag. xoxo. Natasha F.H.

Breathe deep and you will find your way.
Not everyone will be there for you, but that's not a problem, but an opportunity to grow, become more independent, be who you are without worries of what other think. In the end, your the only one in the coffin, right?
June 22nd. Take three breaths, listen around you, take everything in. And.. it will pass.. find your Being, find your space. -Lori

12:08 PM Thursday June 29 2017 . As always, I'll write my honest thoughts. The older I get the more I realize everything is temporary. I've been focusing my time and energy on accepting this fully. So far I've learned to really live in the moment and soak in every experience. People teach lessons to carry throughout life. Don't be bitter when old friendships die. Cherish people even though you won't always have them. Tell someone you love right now that you appreciate them. We don't do enough of that. From the bottom of my heart, Ashley P.
June ?, 2017. Found a beautiful place. Respects, Nate.

July 1 2017. The ideological concept of this labyrinth is awesome, it's both spiritually and mentally invigorating and is truly remarkable.
July 1. I've had a lot on my mind lately. This is the only place I can sort out my thoughts. Endless appreciation. -E. ♥
July 2. I am rejuvenated by this wondrous place. Restored. From this place I received balance as if every stone played a part, contributing like a symphony pounding out a blessing to my body soul and spirit. Love and light from the earth to my shakra centers and pouring out of me like a supernova. Thank you father and whoever was the vision behind this sacred place. Love and Light. -JM & JT
July 2, 2017, This is a beautiful spot. The only thing I have in common with other visitors is that I am searching... and so I search on!!! -S.

Be careful how you trust people. Fake people will tell you things to gain your trust. Real friends are goo, you can tell them everything. You can make fun of each other and feelings don't get hurt, you treat them like family. Once someone breaks your trust, you would maybe think everyone will hurt your feelings. It happens to a lot of people. Be strong. -Joe
Don't let people on the sidelines rule your life. Do what you want when you want because your life is determined by you.

July 6. I wish that everyone is truly happy.
July 6. We are all still growing.
July 6 2017. It's a beautiful world we live in. I first stumbled on this place some months ago but this is the first time I got to walk through it and sit here to enjoy the peace. I had to show my boyfriend this spot and here we sit. Our lives have purpose. Our thoughts have power. Show love to everyone, we're all people. Metakaye oyasin. Listen to some Nahko Bear and enjoy the musical medicine. I thank god for this life & all the blessings. Use your purpose. Shine on, and when others damper your purpose, love & shine stronger. ♥ Vanessa L_
July 6 2017. Leaving Flagstaff tomorrow after a week of hiking days. Blessed by a brief t-storm today. This place continues that blessing! --E & K
Dying to live #4, July 11, 2017. This year has been trying to say the least. Lost love, addition, finding a reason to go on every day. I think you you still, always. I've learned to love myself and others. But I will never love another the way I love you. Thank you for everything. Tyler W K__ PS A quote from Goethe's Faust: "Lie an aeolian lyre, shuddering note on note, tear on tear fall burning, and what I possess seems far away, and what I've lost becomes reality."
Starting over is easy, persistence is an art... Thanks Flag. - Amanda C_
Every rainstorm has a rainbow. - 100% ∞
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. ♥ I thank the creator of the labyrinth, for it made me realize that life is not about hustling and hurrying about. Some people forget to stop and smell the flowers. Completing this labyrinth gave me time to think about life and what I want for the future. Once again, thank you! B_ W_
July 14, 2017. This trail is amazing, so much to look at and find.

July 17 '17. Whatever you do, wherever you go - make it better... please!
July 18 2017. To the guy said you are looking for a soulmate: I came to the labyrinth today because you said we would meet here but you never showed up - or did you. I came because my mesas/my hearts, they are missing, they won't come out to play. I came because I have a special praye that needs to be prayed. I was supposed to bring my mesas with me to the labyrinth and you must ask permission and they did not give consent.
Dying to live #5. "I only get sleepless nights sitting on the edge of my half-empty bed." Each day is more beautiful than the last, and time is never promised, that gives everything an urgent beauty and imparts (for me at least) a tragic sense of life. I'm only happy when I'm "sad" and love the idea of love, but the picture always looks better than the meal. - Tyler W. K___, July 17, 2017
To thine own self be true. Walking with my daughter! July 18, 2017 JoJo & Christine
July 20, 2017. Being alive is a blessing every day. Putting today first, leaving the past. Free at last, free at last. One love. --D Weezy
July 20 2017. This labyrinth is amazing! I have had a hard year and I started to find myself this summer. My depression slowly leaves me every time I take this walk. I learn to appreciate more and take things slow. Not all things need to be rushed. Today Chester Bennington (lead singer of Linkin Park) passed away; his songs always help me, but today hit me like a ton of bricks, so I came here. I have never felt so low in my life. I hope friends will come back and help. For now, I am all alone. Not sure if that is bad or good. Ta-ta fro now. With love, Ashley Chenoah L___. PS Song for today: One more light - Linkin Park ♥
July 22. There's nothing at the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds. - Meat Puppets
July 22 2017 It's amazing how this labyrinth draws in those who have been struggling and allows them to re-evaluate and recalibrate. I have appreciated such an opportunity. --JTR
♥ I agree
I believe happiness is a byproduct that results from being otherwise engaged in things like hiking, learning, exploring, communicating, dancing, loving, anything! Putting happiness as a goal to be reached keeps you from it.
July 23 2017. Thank you for this space. A time to reflect and give thanks for what we have. Thank you for good health, thank you for people in my life that I need, and that need me. I'm grateful. --JB
Mathias H__ was here... xo love mathias ♥

Very nice labyrinth! 3-year old crying, doesn't want to leave!
July 30 2017. It was no accident that I wandered into this remarkable place this morning. I've only lived in Flagstaff 2 weeks. The last 2 days I've been seeking reflection and peace in nature as I make a difficult decision about living more authentically. As I explored the labyrinth, the thought kept coming back "you are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars. you have a right to be here, and whether or not it is clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should." Thank you for this space. -Noah B. ♥
I just want to be happy.
Why do I feel so lost? There's no room for growth when I carry so much. I need to go back, back to love, back to excitement, back to passion, to who I once was. I need to let go of insecurities, of fear, of hate, of doubt. I love myself. I can make a change. I will make a change. ♥
july 30, 2017. A lovely drizzly and green day. Life is good.

Dying to Live #23, Tyler W. Kimbell September 7 2017. The world evades us because it becomes itself and if time frightens us it is because it works out the problems and solutions come after. If man realized that the universe like himself can also suffer, he would be reconciled. I regret hurting those who cared enough to love me but I wouldn't have this tragic sense of beauty without my experiences. I am almost 30, alone, and more myself than ever before. But ideals won't soften reality's blows. To love is the ultimate selfless act, is to see and know your time with a person is finite, which lends it great beauty. Cultivate love and compassion and gain strength from a solid foundation on which to build your higher ideas. We can't always be heros. Yet we can always strive for humanity. I can view going thru life with sharing it, as the ultimate tragic denial of will to power, with laughter and tears and life and each death we come a little closer to our potential. I miss you my love and I am thankful for the time.

Fam. Sept 28 2014. Love is.... like a nail, it holds you steady, like a donut, soft and sweet, like a boomerang, it comes back around, like a scary fish... but one day love will be worth it.
Sep 30 2017. Kinda hot today... 15 minutes later. I think I awoke some ancient being living in the weird rock nearby. I almost had a headless dead squirrel dropped on my head. We'll see if I die. - M.
I came here with the knowledge that my mother is dying... it's a lovely fall day. I brought 2 friends and we each brought a fall beer. We left them as a reminder that in the best and worst of times we will always have good folks and beautiful days to keep us laughing. Live, laugh, love... -Corndog
Nice to see all the natural beauty here in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting. By enjoying life and spreading love, we will all push through tragedy and come out stronger and more unified. ♥ Spread love. -- Cassidy

8 Oct 2017. Aloha.
October 8th Blessed are the forgetful ♥ for they may never learn the full consequence of impulsivity. There is no such thing as too much love in your heart. Breathe safely in nature, letting your body melt into the earth. Melt into the touch of pretty creatures. You are never alone. Find your way back to the center again. Bear roots yet carry on the legacy of the person you dreamed of being when you were small and things were simple. Lay back and listen to the sounds of life. The vibrations of strings marching across miles of skin, laying claims to your bones. the end to isolation. I wish you many first kisses and restful sleep, Speak your truths. - KPD ♥
Oct 8, 2017. The day after Michele's wedding, we walked the labyrinth with Carson and Bay for their very first time. Carson slept, Bay did not. Some girls sat in the middle having a ceremony and thanked us for giving them time in the center.

Oct 14 2017. Our journey might feel like it took forever, but life finishes in the blink of an eye. As you get closer to the middle (end) the maze shoots you back out. Stay positive and conquer life's challenges. Life's a journey. Commit and make that change. - P.E.

Oct 30 2017. Dying to Live #23, Tyler K_. I live on the edge of future but my mind strays to the past... how can I ever be present? I live live in a world where the odd is everyday and normality is laughed at, and in an attempt to live beautifully I've followed unusual paths which lead to the present. Make the best of yourself, the world is full of a-holes, be the toilet paper. Everything is worse than it seems and more bizarre than we think. That being said, don't worry about BS. Life happens.
Nov 4 2017. When I came at the end of September I was cursed by "rock Boy." A month and 2 headless rodents later, I brought him milk and cookies (spirits and Santa have the same rules, I guess) and 2 marigolds. Hopefully we're cool now. I replaced his head. Maybe Rodent #2 was a call for help.

Just found this place by chance and will come back soon with a special rock I have at home to set in the middle. I can hear the road nearby but the place feels serene.

This place is cool to do at night without lights. You don't see what's coming next on the path, just like in life. You don't see the next obstacle but you keep going and make the turn. Once you get to the middle if feels like you went on the whole journey to find happiness. Nov 10 2017.

What a random set of events that many would call a coincidence while others would call it fate. Whichever is true, I'm glad it happened.
Well said.
I feel completely different. but is that what we were looking for? I feel completely different, but I recognize the face in the mirror. I feel so god-damn DIFFERENT. I tell myself "I love you." I take the time to take care of me. I feel different but I know there's more. November 25 wg

Dec 05 2017. This is my second time here and I love it. I discovered this place with NAU meditation club. I love how it appeals to all my senses. The beautiful rocks and tree, the nice smell, the chimes on the tree, touching the rocks and drinking Dutch Bros coffee. I will come here more often, alone or with friends, to study or enjoy nature. I am lucky to be in Flagstaff ♥♥ Emma from Tunisia.
I want to make my mark here but I think I'm just too damn high!
I am changing the world around me.
Whoever destroyed my artwork at the labyrinth, you hurt my feelings. I did not build my art for some drunken NAU students to knock it down. Please respect and do not destroy. (obscenities and false claim to have built the labyrinth were deleted)

December 12 2017. Oh lord how majestic is your name from the highest windblown heights to the lowest lows of my bedroom floor your reverberations find me everywhere. I scream too loud to hear the whispers of who I am. I wonder if there enough air in the world for me to breathe and still I run away. Am I too old for such things or should we all run away more? On the wind your love carries me home to the place I have been running to my whole life long.
"Be still and know that I am God." "Peace, be still." Home is all around you, for in who you are, I am found. Peace.
Life flows around me. energy light flows within me.
Be the change you want to see.

I love it.
Two days ago, my second abortion. I was sick a lot between them. The love of my life an I burning up. Grades dropping. Lies. My full truth cannot be told. Friends, parents, lover unable to see the demons on my shoulders, if if they could they didn't bother to shoot them. I walked a rocky path and came on this bench, this journal to write in, some thoughts freed from my prison cell. The wind is getting cold. Time to keep walking with the rest of my thoughts.
(comment on above) Hey I want you to know. I think you're incredibly strong. You deserve to be happy.
March 17 2018. The labyrinth is 5 years old today. It is wonderful that most visitors respect the labyrinth and the other visitors. Peace to all.

March 30 2018. 6:55 PM. All I hear are cars, all I see is nature. This is something you don't experience much... walking along the trail and finding this beautiful place is rewarding. I'm with my love sitting next to me and we are silent. This is bliss. Pure bliss. Anything I could ask for an more. I can't wait to be back again. - K.
March 31 2018. It looks pretty. ☺
March 30 2018. Amazing... sitting here in the middle of a city, between a university and a police station, near houses and restaurants, yet all I hear is wind in the trees and an occasional hiker on the trail below. I never thought I'd find so much peace in the middle of a city. I wonder how long this place will last. I'm glad that a part of this city has been preserved as the land it once was. How many more years before Nature collapses under man's crushing weight? "Nature speaks in symbols and sighs /Catch them while they fly /Let her tell you what's in her heart /the truth that never dies." -- Kyle
March 31 2018. There's a lizard watching me write this. There are 3 rocks between the one I'm sitting on and the one it's standing on, still as a statue, and nearly the color of the rock... I almost didn't notice it. We're both watching each other, basking in the sunlight. It's peaceful here, and I needed that. I have a lot on my mind, but coming here, meditating as I walk, and then sitting and drinking the sights and smells and sounds... this place emanates calm. After every visit, my worries seem small. Like waking from a nightmare to feel sunlight on your face and wonder why you were terrified. Always grateful to the creators of this labyrinth. And to the earth, our first mothter. May all who find there way here...
April 1 2018. 7:30 AM. Running down the trail. Open to anything. I saw a small sign. I followed it up... To this beautiful Earth art. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ♥ Stephanie
The air is still /and silent still /ravens and songbirds /the willows are gaining buds and spring in in the smell of the air. I am blessed by this moment.
April 1 2018. Nico C_, natureboy_11. There are nice spirits here that are welcoming. Don't disrespect Gaia because it can affect you later on. Walk to find your freedom. You can conquer the visible but what of what's within? To seek outside the norm is no sin. The words of the ancestors are not mine to tell. Herb is for us to connect with them. Life exists out here and also does your death... an arm's length in reach. Live with him close by. In your honor.
April 1 2018. I remember when this place was new and fresh and exciting. We traveled at night thru the woods. Every moment passed so quickly becomes nostalgia. I come here now with a different heart, a different collection of people. I come here now less to indulge and more to escape, to remember places and people outside my tiny world. I wish you all light and love, emotional intelligence, satisfying sex. I send you courage to take on your dreams. Meditate a moment and carry on. ♥ KPD
I honor the mother that birthed me whose face I've never known. /I honor the mother that raised me whose earthly time has flown. /I honor the grandmothers, wisdom-polished, paper-skinned. /I sing in praise of all the women teachers who have ever been. --The Crone of Ni Cara, Mothers' Day 2018

Oct 31 2018. I recently started getting more into paganism, and today I came to the labyrinth for a small samhain ritual -- smudging with sage to cleanse negative energy, mugwort for divination, and rosemary to remember by ancestors. I left an apple slice, hazel nuts, almonds for spirit visitors. Thank you to whoever maintains this labyrinth, it's a place I retreat to and have depended on for 2 years now, thru life's ups and downs. Walking it and meditating, and then leaving an offering in the center and staying to reflect or just chill out has helped me more than I can say. I hope this labyrinth will be here a long long time so it can help others as it helps me. Blessed be, and Happy Samhain! ☺

Nov 26, 2018 I've never seen how the labyrinth really looked until now. It's so beautiful and creative. I was just taking a nature walk and here I bump into this labyrinth. It is a blessing to see such beautiful art, I'm so honored be be the first to write in this book. -DP

Nov 29, 2018, 5:20 PM. I am 9 years old and this is my second attempt at the labyrinth. I did it once when out on a run with m dogs and they were going bizirco! So sadly I could not finish.

Nov 30 2018. The labyrinth is a great place for people who want to think. Just walking in it makes me inspired to think of stories. Who built this? Why is the labyrinth shaped like this. It's beautiful and a true symbol of Flagstaff. -Edward
Dec 1 2018 5:05 PM. Today I came to the labyrinth for no purpose but to find one. It's a beautiful snowy day and I'm listening to "Homage" by Mile High Club. This is a beautiful place and I'm so incredibly thankful for it. Walking thru it is such a treasure, and nothing beats being able to sit here and clear my mind. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. - Devon.

Dec 9 2018, 11:12. Decided to go on a walk with this awesome girl I met recently, just out of the blue. It's a beautiful sunny day with icy snow on the ground. I love how intricate and soothing the walk was. It was a therapeutic experience, good to clear the mind and just focus on the journey.
Dec 9 2018. I come here a lot and I love reading everyone else's experience. This place is truly calming and soothing, lots of angels watching and protecting. Things feel different in my life, something has shifted... for the better (I hope). But everything is full of unknown. I hope someone reads this so my thoughts don't go unheard. Angels watch over you ॐ. Birds sending messages from above: Love & light. Starlight.

What is love?

Dec 20 2018. We came here once - not that long ago. I thought closure would come from your words "No matter what, you set me free." That was after all how I justified everything. I think you & I both know know you'll never be "free" in that sense. What you did was wrong. What I did was wrong. I just have to find my own closure - not live helping you fulfill it.

It;s rare you find something that takes you to your childhood mindset. Seeing the wintry forest takes me back to my childhood in Michigan while seeing my future, standing beside my husband and experiencing new things and building new dreams.
Thank you for providing healing for my friend when she needed it. Blessed. ★ AKM ★
Feb 28 2018. My second time here but too much snow to do the labyrinth. It is calm and peaceful though - here with my love. ☺ Have a great day!
March 1 2019. First time here in Flagstaff, with my children. We were walking and found this magic place, relaxing and interesting. The view is amazing, touching nature in this way is just fantastic. The song of the birds, trees, water, and my little kids enjoying is just priceless. Sitting in this rock feels great. We'll come back again. - Jesica, Amy, and Monserrat, Puerto Penasco, Mexico. ☺

March 16 2019. Happy birthday labyrinth!
To know the way you go the way you go the way you go the things you do it's all there in front of you but if you try too hard to see it you'll only become confused. I am me and you are you as you can see then when you do you will find the way and the way will follow you.
March 17, 2019. Happy 6th birthday to the labyrinth.
March 18 2009. Thank you for existing ♥
Thank you. Perfect spring equinox walk.
I walked toward peacefulness to carry it with me after I finished my walk. Namaste.
March 20 2019. It was a good exercise☺and fun to do with my friend. Sincerely, random 16-yr boy ☺
Great for hangovers. ☺ xoxo Jessica

3-21-19 This isn't a labyrinth. It's a single line that if you follow leads you to the finish. I was expecting having to make choices but there is only one path to follow. - disappointed labyrinth enthusiast.
Wow I feel bad for this person (comment with arrow pointing to the previous comment)

Monday March 25 2019. I found this while on vacation. It is quite peaceful. If I go to college here I look forward to many walks through this, but until then I plan to make a labyrinth of my own in CO.
lovely location - anonymous
3-25-2019. I loved walking this with my favorite Jaci, Hazel, and Jules.
Monday March 25. Years have come and gone - time transforms this place, adorns the path with ice and dormant things and then with summer flowers and strange buzzy bugs for which I have no name. Yet the energy of the labyrinth endures all. This place continues to bring me peace, spiritual healing and a strange but mystical connectedness with the flora, fauna, and beauty of Flagstaff. With love, N.G.C.
March 25 2019. Really enjoyed the trail. It gives a lot of time to think about the importance of existence.
This reminds me of a movie "Letters to Juliet." If you haven't watched it, you should ... Cecile B. 2019

This place was nice and has a great view, everyone can enjoy it. Plus it has the best weather if not the only place close enough to a enjoy a trail close to school... this is a movie scene!

I've been coming here for years. In the past with friends, on several Thanksgivings with my family so we can all think about what we are thankful for in silence, and today in spring with my son. The chimes have lasted so long and always make me smile. Definitely one of the magic spaces in FLG! Thanks for helping care for it!
March 30 2019. Came out for a run and found this place. Kinda cool but also not!! Pretty view! Thinking about how bad life can be. :(
March 30 2019. Been here before and it was cool to see that the labyrinth is still here to escape from the university. Stay the course that is this life.
Love, Love, Love ♥ Very healing meditation, reflection, freedom, manifestation. Thank you for this labyrinth. E.

April 3 2019. second visit to this labyrinth. It's a time to think and de-stress. -- From Jennifer & Jasmine, California
April 5. The first time I came here a few weeks ago was really hard. I wasn't calm and even though I tried to feel peace, I didn't. But Kevin told me it was OK, even if I was angry I could just stump it out in the circuits. But today I feel calm and peaceful - the day is beautiful and I feel the power! ☼
April 6 2019. Wonderful place, beautiful views, a good place to bring your dog.

April 13, 2019. We found this book while hiking, wanted to leave a message. ♥ - S & C & T & J
If I were a poet /I would write a poem that would make the oceans clean again. /I would write a poem so pure it would rain for days and when the skies were clear again, /a million stars would fill the summer night. /I would write a poem to make the people see guns are bun and unworthy of our love. /I would write a poem to make all the bullets disappear. -from the inexplicable logic of my life by Benjamen Alire Saenz ☼

We can no longer think of this as a goddess portal, we are not learning to balance masculine and feminine.
April 17 2019 11:10 AM. What change my life is at. I came here asking only for love as I found it within myself. I have found love but not the kind I deserve. I deserve better. But I feel struck when I hold all the power. I don't want to leave another human on the streets. I want to see the world thrive. I keep asking for guidance, strength. I surrender. Please, Highest Good for all.
Divine put your power in me and speak thru me.

4/20. Ya bois again. We've been here a few times now and it gets better every time. Remember to drink water, smoke bud, respect women, and all out just have a good time. PS happy 420, be safe.
Happy Easter and 420. Blaze it and praise it! ♥ C & C of the Radiant Circle.
Nothing is ever as it seems but through open mind, heart, new realms of perception begin to open.
Blessed are the ones who walk the path rather than waiting for the path to open.
4/21 Happy easter, thank you for the peace and quiet.
4/22 First time in Flagstaff and decided to come up here on a whim. The sound of the wind and the chimes really set the mood. Might be falling in love with the place but I'm not sure I really belong here. This may be a stretch to draw this conclusion but it seems the things I love the most are those I'll never truly have or understand. peace & be well
4/22/19 Awesome day for a walk. ☺

Thanks so much Noah! Today is my 30th birthday and I'm grateful to be in such a beautiful place with reflective spaces like this. It's also mile 575 of 800 on the Arizona Trail which I've been hiking since March 14. How vital it is to connect with nature - life - of which we are a part. How magical is a single breath, which really isn't so simple after all. The inhale which melts into an exhale. Reminders for this new decade: keep breathing, keep speaking, keep loving, keep being you. Say no. And say yes. I'm starting a new project - the idea came on the hike - called "The Encouraging Times" a newspaper/zine of uplifting stories. I'd loive to a include a stroy of yours! Page will be up in few days with info: rebeccarosethering.com/the-encouraging-times. Keep on living - being present - and loving! Warmly, Rebecca.
Don't overthink it! Just do it! And also I LOVE YOU. - Amber

ACG. April 30 2019. A poem for inner conflict. /I like to hear the wind /whistling by my ears. /Take heed of this landscape /have no fear. /I can seem my demons growing /in the rear view mirror. /I shake, I stumble, I quiver and quake /like a lone aspen in a meadow, stuck to the ground. I tremble but I I will not mumble. /I will not go quietly into this ramble. /I will rage, rage against the dying of the light. /I will not go into that dard night. /The rocks stand strong against the storm /the trees bend but never break. /this will not be my last take. /fate has brought me into the fight. /So I put my shifter in reverse and hear the good ole wind whistling by my ears. /and if I end up the a hearse, the eulogy will say. /he gave his demons one hell of a fight.
George. May 3 2019. I just moved here from San Diego by train. I arrived early morning on the first and had picked up a stomach bug on the way. I've spent 2 days in bed, and today I left the house. I am in total awe. This place is truly magical. I came to Flagstaff to start over. I am 31 years old and have been addicted to drugs most of my life since teen age. Coming here is a chance for a new life for me, and stumbling on this labyrinth is a sign.

June 1st 2019. We (myself and my 2 young daughters) just found the labyrinth by chance and are so excited to be here. I believe human life a about growth and transformation back into the angels we once were and that still exist in us. This happen by fully embracing the human experience, life and death, and all the while giving yourself to God. ♥

June 14 2019. I'm really struggling mentally, physically, and financially. I hate breathing, living.. feeling. But I just found the place and I feel oddly calm here. I wish I could just sit here all day and listen to the birds. I'll be coming back... I'm just so depressed, I always have been. I can't sleep wither. I hate feeling like this. Hopefully this is a turning point. Soaking up all the Vitamin D must help. I doubt anyone reads this and if someone did they'd probably make fun of it but if you relate to how I'm feeling you are not alone. Never give up, no matter what.
(response to above) You are not alone. - Max & Sam.
(another response on same page) I've been in your place before and still haven't entirely escaped it. Start new, live simply, do things out of the ordinary, and speak positivity into existence. Who are you! Answer that question and question your answer. You will survive this... time stops for no one, move with it.
June 14 2019. Beautiful labyrinth! The wind chimes and tower bell in the distance added to the experience and then the crows joined in. Thank you for such a beautiful place.☺ -Echo Dawn

June 16 2019. Your thoughts and projections tells the universe what to do. If you believe bad things will happen to you, she will hear you and give you bad things. She hears you but does not control your life. You have the power and words and she supports them. She'll bring reunion with an dold friend when she hears "today will be agood day". She will bring loneliness when she hears "No one invites me anywhere." Pay attention to your mental power on your reality and start controlling it. PS: Thanks to whoever left the bag of Ruffles, I ate my share and left the rest. Whoever finishes the bag, please carry it out. Leave no trace. PPS. I'm gonna start bringing food too.

June 22 2019. I first came here a year ago when I boy I loved moved away. He loved birding and would solo camp for days to see a rare bird for a few moments! I came here and walked the path silently, listening to the birds, I knew he and I were both free. He was a bird and I was the wind. We sent different directions. And that's OK. Today I was walking by and the labyrinth called me. I sat on the this bench to slow my mind. I have learned to fall in love every day. Maybe with a beautiful stranger, the swaying of the trees, or a new poem. Even on the worst day, I fall in love. The journey & uncertainty of life is beautiful. Stop & listen to the birdies. - xx Jasmine
I don't know how to say goodbye. I can't get myself to say how much I love you, when it means you'll hang up the phone. Saying goodbye is hard even when the trees, wind, and clouds are rooting for me. Every day I try to do what scares me, so if you haven't heard it yet... goodbye. I love you.
To the clouds, the new me that emerges each day, the people I love, and Arizona.
Take care of yourself - LU ♥

Time sure goes faster as I get older July 28, 2019
July 28 2019. I needed this today. Walking in silence is always a good thing. A moment to reflect on my life was the medicine I needed. What you put in life helps you get more out of it. If you go in with a goofy thought process, you have a good time. But if you want to grow from it, go in with a meditative thought process. Today I felt peace, strength, and loved every moment. Thanks for the break from life. ☺ Chava. JM.
July 29 2019, Hi my name is Edgar A_-M_ and I will be a 2020 olympic gold medalist.
F* the government and false institutions. Show compassion for each other and the environment. Don't be too hard on yourself.
July 29 2019, Today is now and will never come again. So I set an intention to receive guidance before "the walk" and I got it. I learned to love your own mind and trust it. If you get lost, it's OK, you get back up again. I also processed what was holding me back in life to I could let it go. I left behind doubt, fear, and self-limiting beliefs. Then I read other people's comments in this book and as I read I thought "I love you. I you were here, I'd hug you. I felt moved by their honesty, and it inspired me to share. We all crave connection, and if we're not getting ti, we need to change ourselves inside or by seeking the creative god of love. -- Chara
Aug 2 2019. Went on this walk today to find my courage again. Lost it when she asked me if it was in. I feel worthless. Couldn't give her pleasure, and now I can't even give me pleasure. Maybe I'll get a growth spurt but not likely for someone in late 40s. I'll return to finish this page if I ever get my courage back...
Aug 3 2019. Hey, it's raining. That's meaningful, right?
It's fund to fill in the hearts.

March 30 2020. I've only been here twice but every time I came after a big change in my life. On the walk in, I remember the things that got me through the journey. The tears, the pain, the smiles, the people. Then on the walk out I imagine the years to come. I don't know if it is supposed to be as emotional as I make it, but I always leave with a clear mind and a new ambition.
March 30 2020. Thanks to the labyrinth caretakers who repaired the bench and created a new way to leave comments. It is so sad that Flagstaff has one frustrated, unhappy, powerless person who finds vandalism the only way to express himself. I hope he gets well and becomes a caretaker himself someday.
March 31 2020. The real experience was the joy of peace and quiet with my mother. Now I have not seen her in 3 months and with this awful pandemic it was great to fell wonderful quality time with her today as I walked alone. I hope to return to the labyrinth in a year or two and reflect on the beautiful woman I spent time with today. I'll do another walking meditation with my distant mother's presence.
April 1 2020. Inner peace. ♥ If you read this during COVID-19, I hope you are finding calm during this havoc. ♥

April 13 2020. It's been a hard day. I learned my roommate has COVID. I ache and long for my family, the comfort of community, even if just in the form of a cup of joe from firecreek. I was moved to feel the earth under my feet, and the cairn at the center of the maze... to know that there are form older, wiser, and stronger than I. I lean to these teachers. PS. I love Drew F_.
The rock fell down.
April 17 2020. The Highley family is thankful for a place to escape the city during the coronavirus lockdown of 2020. What a great place to enjoy nature and the peace of Flagstaff.
April 17 2020 I love you /I don't want you to go /I don't know how to cry /Please make this pain go away.
Who speaks to this cold settled lichen? Though I do not speak to you, I am present with you. I do not wish to fold into myself until I am labyrinth and rock.... A walking rhythm.
April 22, 2020, Boys & Girls Club of Flagstaff. While walking the labyrinth, Landon thought about batman, spiderman, & pikachu. Bentley thought about computers. Jr: nerf gun fights. Jenna: rock towers. Mia: food. Amir: naruto. Mason: tigers & lions. Lucas: music. Madi: how beautiful nature is.
April 23 2020. I somehow always find myself here when I'm looking for some guidance. I'm kind of lost in life right now, but I am also at the most peace. Life has gotten a lot more quiet. I graduate in a few weeks and have to figure out my life. But for once I just want to live without desiring to reach some end goal. I want to fly.. I want to be free.. I want to spread my wings without the thought of a final destination. I'm listening to the wind and I'm dreaming big dreams.
April 25 2020. Tom Noga, my best friend from 1970-1980 died 2 days ago in Virginia. On my run this morning I encountered 2 pronghorn in the woods about 2 miles SE of here, for the first time in 14 years of running that route. Romance blossoming among house wrens, house finches, nuthatches, red-winged blackbirds, and flickers. Life is so beautiful and ephemeral that I cry with joy and sadness.
That was intense! I feel freer! I feel my problems are going to get better
April 25 2020. H & D ♥ This is probably the first time my head has been completely completely empty when I'm alone. I feel like time just fewl by. Also I realized that I'm definitely going to spend the rest of my life with my person.
April 25. D & H ♥ I was trying to use this walk as a time to think about problems in my life but I had a hard time to think about things and walk the maze at the same time. I realized that my restlessness and need to always be active or productive comes from me not wanting to think about the problems I am facing. But being productive also is also me passing through these problems. Just confirming my feeling that there is not a second to waste.
April 28 2020. I had a question of how to heal... The answer given was "learn to use what you do not understand." Just do it anyway... learning comes with action not contemplation, no need to grasp it mentally if you can enact it.
May 2 2020. This labyrinth is super dope and it inspired me to go out more. I'm gonna show this to my mom, she will love this.
May 4 2020. Crazy how bigger strides get you to the same destination quicker. Also crazy how this paper is blinding me.
May 4 2020 Although I remember the beginning fondly, I can never return to that moment for I was a different person.
May 5 2020. Out walking our dog in this great weather with my amazing girlfriend.
(attempted translation from childlike printing, few spaces between words, and unique spelling such as "epresh eat" for "appreciate") It was fun too I so.. and most in got it. this is famole mas we we appreciate your help Yours Phoebe G_
May 5 2020 My son had a great time. As for myself, it's great to spend time with my family but mostly to be in the open.
May 6 2020. After training in the labyrinth I find a sense of spirit. A calm joining with the air and the sound of the wind. After hearing a response from an old friend from 30 years ago I was happy to experience Facebook. Today is a good addition of my grieving process. I grew up in Flagstaff, came her in 1983 and stayed. Didn't finish high school, tried other cities but not more than 7 months away led me back here. I lost my mom last week. And I pray with her now. Thank you so much to the City of Flagstaff.
unknown day in Coronaville... A simple day, in a simple time. Thoughts can be the energy of actions. Keep your loved ones close. Never stop working here on happiness. Asi P_
I didn't follow the path because it took too long. I can't wait to show more people this labyrinth.
May 7 2020 Finding solace in being present and enjoying the warm sun on a body that has been cold for too long. Today is a good day. - K. C_
Running is hard
May 8 2020 This is one the best things ever!
May 9 2020. As a white trail runner since 1974, I am immune from being murdered for running while white. Today I ran with Ahmaud Arbery, a young black man murdered for running while black, and whose murderers were not prosecuted until the video went viral. Today I kept imagining that I was approaching a white pickup truck stopped in the street, and then passing it on the right...
May 10 2020. As a teenager in Augusta, Georgia in 1968 I saw 4 cops walk up to an (apparently unarmed) black man and immediately beat him to a pulp. When I asked what was going on, I was ordered to leave. I called the police station that evening and again the next day but they said no incident occurred at that place and time. I wrote a letter to NAACP offering to testify if the case came to their attention. Nothing happened. It has haunted me all my life. Now 52 years later, white thugs killed a black man in another Georgia town, and would've got away with it but for the video. This may be progress, but it is damn slow...
May 9 2020. My main struggle recently has been letting the illusion of my ego get the best of me. It creates needless fear and anxiety that hold me back. So today I grabbed a rock from my room and brought it here. I let it hold all the negative thoughts that hold me back. As I walked to the center, I thought of the pain I've been feeling, then in the center I prayed to leave it all behind with the rock. As I walked out I played my favorite song. I am ready to be myself. I am ready for love.
May 12 2020. I've heard it before, yet it is so easy to forget. "It isn't about where life takes you. It is about the journey along the way."
May 12 2020. Well here I am. There I was. Making car noises in the labyrinth because drifting am I right? High as a kite. Right here. Right now. ♥ vspec
May 13 2020. In the midst of COVID-19 quarantine, I found the love of my life. She is precious, sweet, strong, tenacious, incredibly intelligent, compassionate, relentlessly supportive, and my soul mate. She is beautiful beyond belief, the most gorgeous person to grace this planet. the love of my life. rjs ♥
May 13 2020. Coming back here two years later, I reflect on my my life has been and I'm grateful on this experience I am having on earth. Peace & love.
May 14 2020. We stumbled upon this place by accident. Before we left to explore I set the intention of adventure. What were the the chance we actually found it?
I love my girlfriend, she's really cool.
A lizard told me "there is one way to happiness. live in love and light."
May 16 2020. Cool.☺ It was nice.
May 16. Today I reflected on being happy and enjoying every moment with my family. ♥
May 16 2020. I shouldn't wear my brand new vans in the woods.
I was directed to listen to the cosmos. We are one with Gaia and every plant, animal, mineral, and spirit of the vast universe or universes! I was directed to hold my hands out to receive energy from the lava rocks as I walked - my hands were abuzz! One my return the plants called out for blessings and to add their energy. Three lizards wanted to play - they are from my lemurian ancestors! So bright and lively! Blessed be this place. Thank you for your knowledge, and my remembrance of my mission and service.
Water would've been nice during the labyrinth.
May 17 2020. I am in Flagstaff because my daughter was hit by a car here while out running. She has fractures and a traumatic brain injury. Thank you for providing a quiet place outside to walk calmly and reflectively. Thank you to everyone who values peace, good energy, the earth, and the goodness of the universe.
May 21 2020. I am especially grateful for the two girls who experienced this journey with me, Sara and Rachael. I am grateful that I will have my own apartment in about a month and will make it my own space. ♥ I am grateful for all the friends that I now consider family. They bring me towards the happiest I've ever been.
May 21 2020. Where to begin? The connection to nature through this experience is astounding. What a useful tool to practice observance, patience, and faith. The spiritual energy is strong here. I gained perspective here today. I am grateful to have experienced this with my friends and also to have an intense personal experience with myself... Trudge on, you curious minds... this world has much to give you. ♥
Thank you. Today I am grateful for life. The labyrinth represents life starting with being born and ending with death, and I was captured by the energy here. Gratitude is everything.
I'm leaving Flagstaff soon. Flagstaff and the labyrinth have always been a safe place for me. This place had served its purpose for me. I only hope it serves others too. I hope to come back someday. - Hayley
May 23 2020. I feel connected to ancient, long-gone people who also walked labyrinths. I feel connected to nature watching the lizards dart around. I feel connected to beauty seeing the wild roses and listening to the chimes. I feel connected to Flagstaff byr the lava stones I walk through. I feel connected to Flagstaffians as I hear the traffic on Lone Tree Road and see bikers and hikers on the trail below. I feel connected to mother earth as I feel her beneath my feet. I feel connected to those individuals I hold in my heart as I walk. I feel connected to those whose hands carried and placed the rocks to build this labyrinth. With gratitude, A. N.
May 25 2020. I saw the future. D. Lex. ☺Get lost in the labyrinth.. it works. I didn't know better than to jump the wall - L.S.
May 28 2020. After going for a walk on the FUT with my partner, we came across the patch leading to the labyrinth. We walked to the center, enjoying the space and energy that resides here. We will revisit soon! Thank you for this space.
May 28 2020. I think I saw a fairy but I haven't slept in over 24 hours so I don't know. Cory ♥
May 28 2020. There are bones in the labyrinth and a poem about "the way." /Death has been signified, I hear the message every day. /And while my soul longs to be hear I don't know what it has to say. /But the comfort of the labyrinth reminds me that everything will be okay.
Our journey started here and along the way we learned about ourselves and others!
May 31 2020. I grew up in Calaveras ("the skulls") 2 streets west of here. Dead peoples' bones exhumed a few years before my birth surely influenced the neighborhood. A woman in a white flowing gown and "La Llorana" were occasionally sighted in the Rio de Flag. As NAU encrouaches on the dearly departed on its eastern border, will a high tech old age vision of age old reality emerge? - S.G.
June 2 2020. God loves tortoises. God loves unicorns. - Raven, 3 years old.
June 2 2020. Today I fell a little overwhelmed by school. Just moved to Flag, then found I got into med school in Michigan. I'll miss being able to go outside all day and enjoy beauty surrounding me. Regardless I'm grateful to be here, to be healthy, to be in nature at this moment. Day-by-day you will get through.
June 4 2020. My heart is heavy. I will transform the heavy sorrow for COVID-19 sufferers and the violence related to the murder of George Floyd. I will make it heavy love (Mali Music). Resistance is futile. Stand on the side of love. As Mamuse sings "we shall be known by the company we keep /by the ones who circle round to tend these fires. /We shall be known as the ones who sow and reap /the seeds of change from deep within the earth. /It is time now, it is time now that we thrive. /It is time we lead ourselves into the well. /It is time now and what a time /to be alive in this great turning /we shall learn to lead in love. /In this great turning we shall learn to lead in love!" --Amy
June 5 2020. I wasn't expecting to come this far today, wasn't expecting to go on a hike and find this place I didn't know existed. It was nice. The farther I went in, and the more turns I took, the more things I noticed... a fallen tree in the distance, a flower at my hand slightly taller than the others. It was fun, and a nice break from the streets.
June 5 2020. This has been a hell of a year. Very grateful to return to this spot that years ago brought me and those around me much solace. Thank you Universe, Father Sun, Mother Moon. I am grateful to introduce myself to another generation of labyrinth walkers. ♥
June 6 2020. Black lives matter. June 6 2020. Takes a good soul to appreciate the efforts. Takes a good soul to love, understand. Be a good soul. We need more. Much love.
June 6 2020. I felt sad when I came back out - for a split moment, then a hummingbird cam to greet me. The native vegetation, the location, the birds, wind chime, signage - everything about this experience makes me grateful. Thanks to those who created and maintain this space. Especially Dr. B. ☺
June 6 2020. Watching my dog hop from path to path as I remained on my own path to the center and back out. I am reminded that we are moving through time and space but always in the body and at the present moment. Perspectives change but the constant consciousness remains. - Juan V_
June 6 2020. Today I reflected on my want to structure and compartmentalize my life. It's more important to enjoy the ride than stress about the journey.
June 7 2020. L Dogg appreciated the green trees and landscaping. Also disturbed by the used COVID mask in the center. B noticed L Dogg talking a lot. And was cute.
Three steps in I kicked a rock and broke my toes. What does this mean for me? I was pulled into the rock by my dog Karma.
June 11 2020. I'm leaving Flagstaff soon, and the labyrinth was one of my favorite places. Close enough that I could take a lunch break, and the epitome of Flagstaff beauty. Though it is time for new adventures, Flagstaff will always hold a precious place in my heart. ♥ CH
June 12 2020. I feel so guided and loved by the universe. -- the Avatar ♥♥♥☼
June 14 2020. I will be moving soon, this is one of my last visits here. There four years have been a blessing and the path ahead is beautiful. There is always more truth ahead of us and I'm honored to have shared in the journey of the labyrinth.
June 16 2020. This is where I come sometimes to take Canela on walks. Canela is god's gift to the world if there is one. She loles to run the maze and eat the ants that live here. But something shady is foing on here... the gree in front of me has a santissima muerte (death statue) under it, and two skulls in the middle of the maze. I saw various keychains, a pen, a mask, keys, a deer bone, pricess Elaa... ?!? Whatever cult this is, I hail to thee! - Natalia G___
June 20 2020. I am impressed that 1/4 mile path fits in such a small space. I tried to make it metaphor but I stayed in there too long and realized it was just some well-placed rocks. not everything has to mean something. Nice trail.
I love you.
June 25 2020 The pandemic continues.
June 29 2019 ♥ Love & Light. It's so hard to just enjoy the fleeting things around you: nature, joy, happiness, just being alive. This place helps me be here now and appreciate the gift of being alive. I wish to be like this all the time. - Andrea
Matt wuz here.
July 2 2020. I'm a long time vegan, working at McDonalds. Will the karma come back to haunt me? Or will my pushing of flesh to people suffice as a sacrifice to my beloved yellow lag, Hark? Since working at McDonalds I have numbed to cooking sentient beings, but I still remember my initial shock. How do people numb themselves to cruel and painful acts? I don't know if I can keep working at McDonalds but he may have other plans.
July 2 2020. In remembrance of grandma we walk the labyrinth. Coming to it for answers, comfort, and peace. May we continue to live our lives with the strong quiet force she always had.
Thank you. Meditating and praying at the labyrinth has brought me much peace and joy this summer.
July 5 2020. ♥ I am at peace. While walking the labyrinth I felt many different energies... peace happiness, sadness, brokenness. Many beautiful item in the path including paper quotes, amethyst, a figurine, 2 skulls, several big rusty nails. As I stand here I can't help but imagine the labyrinth as a giant walk of life that we all follow bu experience differently. I will move away from Flagstaff in the coming weeks but knowing that special places like this exist reminds me that I will always have a home here. ☮
You wouldn't get it. -- Joker

July 25 2020, 6:24 PM. To get to your goal there may be an easy way. Get to work and go thru the path, you get to see the beauty and also the ugly but at the end you made it. ♥
July 25 2020. There is no right way. I am what I am. I am where I am. I am happy.
Thank you!! I'll come here when I'm 50. Watchu gigglin about? Zepplin.
I am so happy. ☺

(early August 2020). Someone left $12 cash in the comment box for the first time since this project began in 2013. The money will go to Flagstaff Family Food Bank.
Aug 7 2020. I think people leave stray thoughts here. As I walked the labyrinth, I wondered how many people had the exact same thoughts... "I'm so incredibly lonely" "The path to understanding is never straight." "Look! a lizard!" "These flowers are beautiful" "When will this be over? I'm tired of being alone with my thoughts." I suppose we all have these thoughts whether they happen in a labyrinth of not. Such universal feelings, such overwhelming meanign. -E.A.D.

Aug 31 2020. I hope for peace and love for all the families I serve. I hope for health and healing for myself and all the people in my life. May you also find peace, love, and healing.
I didn't mean to fall out of love with you. The dark days still overwhelm the good. Happiness is a mindset I'm not ready for. Being sad is all I know.
"You are hard to read" "You have to do what you say you're going to do." "She's made me depressed in this relationship." I'm obsessed with bringing myself happiness; however I have destructive habits. I don't want to explore the world right now. I enjoy living a simple risk free life full of adventure.
Sep 13 2020. This stupid pandemic tore you and me apart. It wasn't anyone's fault. That's the worst part. I was so helpless as we had to put more distance between us. I thought that one we were back here together again it would be normal, but you already made up your mind.
I worry that I am responsible for my clients but they are not my problem. I'm sad that I can't always fix the hurt that is in this world.
To: People of Flagstaff. From: a girl that is 8 years old. Please pray that the virus will go away and pray that my tics will go away and help the doctors can do the best they can to help people not be scared. "I did not give you a spirit of fear." Timothy 2.

Oct 10 2020, Justin P_. Come up here often from Tucson to visit family and this is always a place for me to realign. Thank you.
Oct 10 2020. I come here whenever I visit Flagstaff and family. Most times I'm in good health and spirits and today is such a day. I don't believe in tragedy without comedy in balance, You can suffer in life or laugh about your faults and change for the better. We don't need sadness or hate to consume us, but strong feelings help us see the best in life. I love you even if you are not here today, I will see you the future. Lates. Justin Paul aka gaap66
Oct 10 2020. Dream come ture. Happy family big house all together and everyone will have super powers. Godzilla will be real, Giving and having a good time.
Oct 12 2020. The universe put this labyrinth in my path just when I needed it. It's humbling to know I am on the outward ring of my journey. The center is my reflection point - peace. I have seen the road ahead because I have taken it before. I will take comfort in the twists and turns. -TD
Oct 13 2020. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

Nov 6 2020. Once again JPZ is up in Flagstaff. Went to Grand Canyon and picked pinyons and reset my spiritual battery. Had some hardships but today is one of the best mornings I've had because I've gained insight to what I need to do to be at peace. Righty-o "JPZ"
Nov 6 2020. Might be Nov 7. Oh well. Anyhow, much love to those who have passed this year and those that need love in their souls and hearts. I love you all...
Nov 7 2020. One day, everything will be OK, You're on the right patch. Biden won the election today. Take your time. Alden
Nov 9 2020. I like to walk while I think. Regular meditation doesn't always help me. The rock border allows me to simply walk a guided path and concentrate on other things and not worry about where I'm going.
Nov 9 2020. I think I will come here more often. This really hit the spot.
11. Dear self, I know you are anxious and traveling through tricky divets in the mind but I assure you you are amazing. I promise you will gain what you seek and more. Your perserverence and strength is great. You have faith from everyone around you, and more importantly from yourself. You have such great powers that have he to surface, and when they do, know that you deserve every gift.

Nov 14 2020. I don't know where I am or how I got here. But I was meant to be here. I am alone, I am quiet. I am not afraid. I have never seen a labyrinth before, but here I am. I hope peace may one day find me again. I hope it my find me here. Thank you.
Nov 14 2020. This too shall pass. Feel the love of the earth surround you and bask in it. We need you.
My muse is unraveling. I feel present, happy, and attentive. I wish you good health.

Nov 20 2020. I leave and find a part of myself everytime I'm here. Today, I left anonymity. I succumbed to the terror of life that is being known. I found pain. Repressed pain. A pain I had not let myself feel yet. I entered a part of myself I had not yet explored. I have not felt this before. I hope not to feel it again. xx Rose

Nov 23, 2020. Someone I care about took me to this spot in a time of sadness and stress. As I walked through the labyrinth I thought about how lucky I am to have her in my life. I would do anything to return the favor. Someday I like to think I will be able to do so. Thank you for the insight and clarity on what really matters in my life.

Dec 20 2020. Hello. We did the trail together, one person behind with eyes closed, switched at the center. Thanks for the adventure. - Some cute gays.
Take your time! - Alix, Cody, Mellow
Being gay in public is more top secret than I thought. Time slows down in the labyrinth.
Dec 25, 2020. There's a beautiful stillness and calm special to Flagstaff that I hope is preserved thru all the expansion and building. On this day (Christmas) while I am missing the snow and biting cold, this opportunity has undiminished spirituality. I have finally the peace within to let go of the burdens I've acquired over a few years in my current residence, and I think I'm ready to move on to my next adventure. Thank you for letting me experience this place.
Jan 1, 2021. 2020 was not the best year. May people died, many families broken. For 2021 I hope for happiness, love, and financial stability. Many people may be left in 2020 but I wish love and light for everybody no matter what life has thrown at them. 2021 is our year, it's going to be better. ♥ Love, freedom, wealth and happiness!
Jan 1, 2021. hope for a better year. 2020 was not the year for everyone. Reflecting about what I have done good and bad, wishing for a better me, work on me, care for me, and most important love myself ♥ and be forgiving to everyone who hurt me.
Jan 1, 2021. I have not been here in a while. I forgot how fun and amazing it is. I also forgot about all the great memories here. I am glad I am back. - Autumn, 4th grade
Jan 1, 2021. I remember walking this labyrinth with my now almost 1-yr-old daughter strapped to my front in a baby carrier. So much has happened since then. So many joys and beautiful memories. And sorrows too. I'm thankful that a place such as this exists. I's so glad to walk it with my daughter who suggested we come here on New Year's Day 2021. ♥ with love and gratitude ♥
Jan 1, 2021. This year has been a tough one. But even through the trials and tribulations, I've had a great year. Graduated, got close to my family, and wen to the Army. If life got you low, just take one step, and once you do, you'll want to take another. Don't give up!
Jan 6, 2021. Holy! Holy! Holy! Where the ordinary meets the sacred. Thank you. - Stacey W_
Jan 9, 2021. Art is unnecessary, but so is seasoning. Art is involuntary, as is breathing. Art is seeking, finding, delivering, expelling. Are is community and solitude, a blanket and a breeze. Art is nourishment and starvation. Art is an upload and a download raging quietly, for all an none to hear. Ark asks nothing of you and requires nothing. Art is fury. Art is joy.
Jan 10, 2021. What's the purpose of having a partner or companion? What is added to life than one can't achieve alone? What is it about the human experience that wants/needs to be shared? How much is instinctual and fundamentally natural about that need and how much is indoctrinated or learned thru lived experience? The more I learn about myself, the more I realize how much our perspective is a choice. What we tell ourselves shapes our understanding and manipulates our experience of life!
Sometimes you just gotta give up and it just be like that.
It is nice to see such a beautiful view when the world we are living in can be so ugly. The melting snow is creating something new and beautiful.
Tried manifestation. hopefully it works. ♥ Happy 2021. ∞
14 Feb 2021 Came from Colorado, wife, husband, 2 dogs. Happiness is better when shared. Enjoy existing, be mindful, soak in the love, and don't be cruel. -- Scally crew II
When I was a boy, my fate was certain. I had to become a pickle. I never understood why this became my fate, but such it was. Nah but I really do want to be a pickle. I don't think my dad gave me love as an infant. If you are interested in my work, call me today at Joe's Barbeque and foot massage.
Forgive yourself. We on drugs, Thank you, I love you. Beautiful words she wrote.
This was hard! I liked it. Could be taller, like a corn maze.
24 feb 2021. Life's good, sun is shining, good people all around, no complaints.
Peaceful and fun! When I saw footsteps I pictured others walking and felt like I made friends. Loved the center. Will definitely return to meditate.
10 March 2021. Life is what you make of it. We are shaped by the good and bad moments. When we laugh and cry, and all the big and small moments. Life is beautiful and messy. I want to focus on staying present and enjoying all of it. I want to let go of negative energy. I am free and this is my life. I will attract things that are good for me and release the rest. Let's live a lot. We only got one life, so we must make it count. Don't sweat the small stuff.
16 March 2021. Just like a labyrinth, there's only one way into life and one way out. All you can do is walk as purposefully as possible between the two. The hard part is letting go of what the experience "should be." Thank you for the safe space you've created here. - Mary.
Be happy where you are, stop seeking better and live in the moment. Don't live for tomorrow because it might never come. Never stop challenging yourself to be the best version of you.
25 March 2021. 4:55 PM. The world is kind of ending be we're doing alright. Mica M_, Madison R_.
28 March 2021. Hi I'm Emily, I'm 21 and I need to pee.
28 March 2021, Saturday. ACE VSP. Spicy Mary HDD, Possibly Tan H_, Christus, Embers. I can't believe you can sit for 0.05 seconds and relieve yourself. This is just a lower-grade savers.
28 March 2021. Who knew there could be so much in the forest, makes me happy and excited and relieved.
Came to Flagstaff for the first time, it's pretty.
31 March 2021. I wish people would stop putting things in the center of the labyrinth. It is trash. Stop littering ! If I was going to make a movie, it'd be called "wAck."
31 March 2021. People ask me what I'm smiling about... Probably because I've never felt this high before. For one in my life I feel free of the mental manacles that once held me. Everything is new, the sights, smells, and sounds. It felt like I was in a game and any decision could be done over. But now life is more like a book - thought out, methodical, and often a bit of a bore just before the good parts... better keep reading. It will be interesting to see this chapter unfold.
4 April 2021. Wow I don't know who I am, which parts of myself to connect with and which to reject. But do I need to know? So I just keep looking forward and doing my best, but I can't shake the feeling that I need to resolve something inside me. I salute those who can manage the demands of the world and the complexity of the human brain. - DTTT
10 April 2021. In the last 2 weeks I have hugged 3 different friends (outside my household). My first outside hugs in a year. Ahhh...
Mushrooms are good. Life is god.
15 April 2021. Dear family, be happy and be so kind to other people. Love, Raven (4 years old)
17 April 2021, 544PM. While walking the maze I felt I was going in circles. I thought I'd never get to the center. But to be honest, to have life is to take small steps toward success. Sometimes you want to give up and sometime you feel you are in one place. Never give up. One day you will be at your success. Jocelyn R_
17 April 2021. This is a reflection by 2 visitors. At first glance, this looked small and quick. After some time we realize this was longer than we had expected. Mind was empty but felt full by the end. We were shocked that no one else was here. Although a road is nearby, it was very peaceful. We wonder how many people have passed thru this labyrinth. --Andrea R. and Fernando D.
21 April 2021. I am so grateful to be in a place where I'm always discovering. It never end in Flag. ☺ - Abby
22 April. Very cool. I had 3 cheaters with me, but I enjoyed!
It was really calming and therapeutic. I never knew when it sould end, but I pushed through. --Bianca R_
Walking the labyrinth gave me peace. I can breathe and allow myself to be in the moment. Something ancient, hard-wired in the human brain, taps into something deeply spiritual in the spiral shape. Thanks to those who had the wisdom to build this for our community, to those who maintain it, and to those who enjoy it. --Gary L_
30 April 2021. Fresh air on the skin /like water to the lips /All of us see the same /Yet interpret different. /Look outward and you will see inward. Look deep enough, and you will see it within you, too! Life is a sweet symphony these days, I am learning to love myself, and this path I am on. I am grateful for the people surrounding me. I remember to breathe and listen to the birds... Peace and love to all! ♥ (I love the springtime).
2 May 2021. Graduation done. Family together now. Happy times ahead. - Sarah, David, Beth, Bekah ☼ Thank you.
9 May. Came with 3 generations of strong women for mothers' day. Love the time and thought this area offered. ☺
10 May 2021. I found myself thinking of the wonders everyone knows but has never seen, wonders like magic, creatures of myth, fantastical journeys. While everyone knows these as fiction, all myth comes from somewhere. Stories of fantasy ring with truth. And this small reminder keeps wonder alive.
Some people (like my brother S) have no respect for the tranquility other people feel here. But yet, they always leave in a better mood than when they came.
Don't rape women. Help your friends. Take care of each other. Love one another. Protect one another. Leave the people who hurt you. Sometimes loving someone causes harm. Listen to the sighs your body makes when something isn't right. Love yourself the way you want to be loved. I care for you the way you care for others. Hold yourself up. ♥
Just because you fail does not mean you should end your life. You are better than that. You are worth more than that. Death is not the answer. xoxo ♥
15 May 2021. The windchime at the labyrinth has been repaired... how wonderful to hear so many tones again. What a fine day. Life is good.
15 May 2021. Beautiful, magical, serene experience. I just graduated from NAU. I love Flag and will neve forget memories like this. ♥
15May 2021. I first came here about 3 years ago for a class at NAU and I've found myself beautifully stunned and silenced by the the labyrinth's energies time and time again. In the past I've come for peace & clarity but today I came for the anniversary of my relationship and it left me feeling more love than I thought possible. And our Baby Yoda was adorable in it. ♥

18 May 2021. There's always a road forward. Even if you don't know the destination. But you don't have to take a pre-made path... you could be like the lizard scurrying from rock to rock, or to a new unknown. But no matter what you do, there will be tight places... don't give up! There is always something to look forward to. Keep pressing forward. Even if the narrow road is huddled by boxing trees or a dark crevice beneath the greatest rock, just keep pressing forward. You'll find something good along the way.
18 May 2021. Today was a good day because I got to hand out with my friend. We haven't done much together because of the pandemic so today was nice. I will miss her when she goes to Cali. But everything happens for a reason. Today made me happy and I hope summer is similar to today.
22 May 2021. Didn't ever plan on being here, but somehow here I am. That has to mean something, and that is all I need to keep on this righteous path.
22 May 2021. I'm grateful for the tears flowing down my face. It means I am alive. What better gift? Thank you Flagstaff for everything you brought into my life. I will miss you... But until then, stay Weird!
These fungi are sure fun guys.
23 May 2021. Happened upon this and it was a fun surprise. 1 Samuel 16:7. - Colemans
Hi! My name is Cora and I have a little bid of a cold. I am having a drippy nose right now. I also love mermaids and the color blue and I hate pink and unicorns (mermaids are cooler). I'm a girl and I hate pink.
25 May 2021. I've been feeling off today, probably because I got zero sleep last night. But my brain fell into a place that I don't like and thought was no longer part of me. It makes me anxious that people may see it an abandon me, but I think I've abandoned myself. From this point on, I will work to get her bac and never let her go. She deserves love and liberation. I deserve love and liberation.
Blessing for earth-healers. – Starhawk
Each spot on the maze felt like a new type of emotion. Passing it felt nostalgic and at the same time felt brand new.
I was very depressed today, had to leave work. Chose to hike here and relax. Think. I feel at peace. Thank you. – The Wolf
1 June 2021. I am very appreciative of nature and the vastness of its beauty! I pray for protection and safety for me and my family. Thank you, thank nature, and thank god for this experience. ♥
1 June 2021. We got bored.
June 2 2021. Scary from the cliff. Fun and cool. I had so much fun. But I saw the lizards and got a little startled. – Tahlia N_
June 2 2021. I pray that I always walk steadfast in my path, even when I do not know the way. I pray that mother Earth direct my steps as I move through life’s uncertainties. – Rochelle ♥
I want to let go of my depression and anxiety. To live free.
Let go of school because it is summer. Also let go of mean people.
4 June 2021. This place is important to me, but words of the visitors gives the place meaning. There is something very human about this labyrinth, and also very Flagstaff. What a beautiful place indeed! It’s beginning to rain – what a beautiful thing. I leave Flagstaff behind today but will return soon enough. Life cares for us all. Stop. Listen to your breath. Inhale. Exhale. Hear that sound? It’s all we have. (peace). And ♥ Flagstaff.
4 June 2021. 3:12 PM. Glad to leave work today because my depression got the best of me. I’ll be OK. And so will you. Nature and time heal all. I love the smell or rain. Remember! Keep on keeping on. ♥ You can do this. You got this. And so do I. – The Wolf
4 June 2021. So happy to celebrate a return to Flagstaff. So much love, power, and beauty. You have the power to find beauty every day. – Jorge
I lived here 2 year ago and never found this place… so glad someone showed me. Something about this labyrinth helped me feel better, let go of my worry, and be in the present moment. – Lauren.
5 June 2021. What a wonderful place – both this labyrinth and Flagstaff. We just moved here in November 2020 to escape Los Angeles. We are so much happier here. Can’t wait for the infinite adventures Flagstaff holds. I feel blessed we can work from anywhere. Kim. PS. Read “Rich Dad”. Poor dad.
6 June 2021. Tyler, Ali, and baby Jack
6 June 2021. Kylie H. I just read all these notes and I agree this place does something to you. I came to the woods wondering what I want in life, and never did I think he likes me too. Whoever is out there, Happy birthday, I hope you get that degree, I hope that baby comes out adorable, and you (most important) find what you are looking for. Honey we are all to fine to fish. But I found exactly what I want. ♥
6 June 2021. This is my fifth visit to the labyrinth. I invited a cute girl I met a few times. We walked here with drinks and she was wearing a bikini bottom. We shared our first kiss, and at the center we shared that we like each other. S. W_
6 June 2021. There is beauty and value in every moment. Halleluja. Jake H_.
Enjoy and love all that there is. You never know when your last will be. – Tom
7 June 2021. I went into the woods to live deliberately… and not, when I come to die, discover that I had not lived. – Thoreau
7 June 2021. Been coming here for two years now and it’s crazy to think about. I’ve seen this labyrinth in all seasons and colors. I’ve seen many treasures and letters left behind. This has always been my place since the first week of school, and always will be.- AH
8 June 2021. We come here with our pup to rid ourselves of stress. We do the labyrinth when we need to feel. A chapter recently closed for us (graduation) and this is a good place to start again. – J&J
8 June 2021. My best friend brought me here, and I must say she is a wonderful friend. I don’t know what to do with my life anymore. Ever since I was little, I thought I wasn’t made for this world, and this world is better off without me. I still think that. I made many mistakes, like kissing the wrong, getting drunk all the time, and smoking to get rid of pain, but nothing works. At this point I don’t know what to live for.
9 June 2021. Commenting on the last note: I have been experiencing similar feelings as you for 3 years. Recently I realized I want to live for myself and get better. It took a long time, after smoking too much dope, and isolating myself from friends and family. I thought I’d never get to this point of wanting to get better…. I want you to know: you are not alone. Life is hard. I made may mistakes. Forgive yourself. You are loved and worthy of love, you deserve happiness… this is possible. Don’t give up on yourself. Things will get better. Meanwhile do things that make you happy. Find people who support you. Go on more walks, breathe in the fresh air. Buy the coffee and cute outfits, pet dogs, find a hobby. You can do this. I accept you as you are. Your friend Jackie
Boo! Too easy. I won’t do this again.
9 June 2021. I live near this labyrinth but haven’t been here in quite some time. Nature cures everything. Everything will be OK. – Amor Fati, Kevin.
9 June 2021. To the people who brought the singing bowl: we liked it. We are spiritual. Perhaps we will meet here again. – Jackie.
10 June 2021. The way it is. By William Stafford. There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change. People wonder what you are pursuing. You have to explain the thread, but it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can’t get lost. Tragedies happen, people get hurt and die, and you suffer and get old. Nothing stops time’s unfolding. Don’t let go of the thread.
12 June 2021, 8:21 PM. To all who ponder. I have found many paths in different locations, many outcomes in life, light, relationships, push and pull, unique individuals in the most karma-driven directions. I am thankful for every unique conversation and every savagely sensational person I have ever encountered. -Doughnificent.
11 June. (child’s writing) Hi my name is Letavion. What I learned is never cheat, and never give up.
This was sooo boring. It’s long and there are no split ends! – anne M
11 June 2021. Alexis. 20 years. Step out of your comfort zone – it will surprise you! God is love. Encourage those around you to step out of their comfort zone.
I’m 5 days away from leaving Flagstaff. I reflect on past mistakes and leave them here. I leave a load of my pain and grief here. As I move on, lighter, a better person because of my time here.
My last thing is to let go of being tired, stressed, fat, ugly…
10 June 2021. This place is MAGICAL. I hope all that come here find the love and peace crackling through the air here, and the countless stories this labyrinth hides. This made my day. Another hidden treasure in Flagstaff.
11 June 2021. I feel happy to be here. Everything is opening to me. I feel lucky, content. I also wish my friend a happy birthday. I love you bro. Xoxo gigi.
11June 2021. ♥ ♥ Today is going to be a great day, not only for me, but for you as well! Much love ♥. Abby. J
11 June 2021. ascendwithafriend.com is scheduled to go live on September 29. Love is answer. Mark your calendar. – Silvio.
11 June 2021, 6:59PM. Teach my heart where and how to see you, and how to find you. You have given me all good things I possess but I still don’t know you. Let me love you when I find you. You know who you are.
11 June 2021. 7:30 PM. Labyrinth, I walk you close to summer. My footprints were left in the snow in January. These ancient lava rocks fortify the path, and absorb and radiate the energy from all who share this quiet journey. Time to reflect and genuflect to this sustaining place we hold sacred. Namaste. Soraya.
♥
13 June 2021. “The wise man lets his heart overflow, but keeps silent his mouth” -Thoth. David L_
Sunday 13 June 2021, 5:29PM. And blood-black nothingness began to spin. A system of cells interlinked with cell interlined in one stem. A dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall while fountain played. You know who you are.
13 June 2021. Today I walk the labyrinth in silent contemplation to mourn my patients who were too sick and injured to make it through. Sasha (dog), 11 years, hit by car. Lily the cat, attacked by coyote, dog Sophie cancer, dog Lovey cancer, dog Sydney cancer. Last month I walked the labyrinth in silent contemplation for my aunt Rina who finally went to sleep to escape her cancer.
14 June 2021. Today I walk a righteous path, but often I am mis-directed. The trail is bright and clear, back and forth in the breeze I say the sadness will subside. Look for my best self. There is a way. I catch myself asking Why? On my birthday 11 day ago I nearly tumbled off a cliff; my friend put aside their safety, reached out, and I realized that friends and strangers all have light inside. I am grateful to be alive and have this chance.
18 June 2021. Black wolf running through time… an echo howling from a past long long ago… but is now one with this self and all. Black wolf was here in these woods.
18 June 2021. Black Wolf Templar. I came from the east to Arizona for a new start… a spiritual journey to be one with this sacred land and heavens… so small in a world so big… It’s been a long journey but I am finally healing. It’s so peaceful here. The biggest thing I’m guilty of is kicking myself in the face. Biggest challenge is loving myself. In the end we are all stardust. May people see all the wonderful things in Flagstaff. I will descend to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and be one with Mother Earth.
19 June 2021. SA + YD ♥ It is never too late to make a meaningful change in your life. J Also, Hi BlackWolf. Good luck! Find Peace! – YD
20 June 2021. I have been so focused on the future lately, it stresses me out and brings me tears. I am finding more ways to be present. Good luck to myself and everyone else.
20 June 2021. Open yourself up to the light. The adventure will be worth it. There will be ups and downs but do not worry, it’s all part of the journey. – Tom B.
20 June 2021. Today is Fathers Day. It has been 4 years since my father passed on. Every year I still write him a card and visit his grave. Even though it has been so long I feel my connection has never wavered. Love transcends time and space. While his loss was heart-breaking I feel love and gratitude. Love is energy and energy never dies. – Jake H_
21 June 2021. Today makes 21 days of living in another’s body… all I see is demons lurking behind every corner and tree. Ceremony didn’t work, we will try to summon more demons tomorrow.
Dying to Live #23. It’s been 2 years since I was last here. It’s strange to be back. I love this place with all my heart. I beat my heroin habit here and learned to live again. We became real. I know myself. I’ve become the magic I was destined to be. Know this. Magic only works for the benefit of the world around us. Submit to a life of service and you’ll know abundance. To be self-serving and shitty you’ll get it back. Meet on the square and leave on the level. So may it be. – Tyler W Kimball
Goey men found. Amen. JK & DD
Alexander P_ stopped here June 26 2021
26 June 2021. Every day is a new adventure and only you have the power to choose the path you’ll take. Love & light to all! Be bold and fearless. – V
27 June 2021. Today we had a lovely date. It’s been a stressful week but I’m so grateful for her. She is light in my life and I appreciate her more than anything. I love her and she helps my love myself. – Gabby ♥
27 June 2021. This week has been difficult for me and my partner. We have stayed positive and held each other through it and I now know for a fact that this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I feel at peace with her here and anywhere else as long as she is by my side. The world is scary but bearable with her. – Lauren
Lucid
30 June 2021. The blue martini. I have hurt her again. More days pass while enemies twist words that my last loved one believed. Words that never left my mouth. Two lovers... to enemies, to best-friends, to pain. I hurt the one I love always. I don’t think I will let this go, but I can keep distance for OUR healths. Someday I hope you read this to know I am with you in your corner. But 10 days in MXC, too much for anyone. To my favorite Too. Hopes and twin flame wishes to friendship. Signed, Rentarov.
Every rock, like every face, tells a story. And both show through their weathering.
Dear strangers, I don' t know what to write about other than honestly live your life according to you and what makes you happy. I've been going thru a lot recently, trying to change myself to make others happy and it exhausting. Writing in the rain right here is oddly comforting, so thanks to whoever built this. Y'all make my heart happy. - Stranger
14 July 2021. Feeling good today! Took my friend to my favorite little spot here (this labyrinth) and she seems to be enjoying it. The rain today adds to the peace. I feel relaxed and at ease for once. I'm so glad my friend is here today. she's made me and my summer a lot happier and fun. I'll miss her once I leave town in the fall. Best.
18 July 2021. I am here. Sometimes that's all that matters. I am here. You are here. And today I am with you the love of my life. I don't know what the years will bring, but I can't wait to experience them with you. I hope we never lose this love, and that we only grow it stronger.
21 July 2021. There's something terrifying about not knowing where you're going. You know you'll get there, but still knowing that something waits for you at the end.
I have a place in the universe. I just haven't found it yet. And I refuse to give all my time to others, I will instead use my time to find alive out my purpose. A little bit of space is healthy.
The labyrinth made me have to poo.
Let go of labels, they don't own you. You own the labels you give yourself. Cultivate your authentic self and anyone who doesn't like it - you don't have to interact with them.
Love and forgive. Yes, again.
I want to let go of the weight of Pleasing people and doing things for other people, putting on a facade that I'm OK when I'm not. I need to let go of always being joyful. It's time to embrace every emotion and be me!
I love you, friends. ♥
I moved to Flagstaff to start over. I've been on many journeys. This is the happiest for far. I think I love a girl... I'm sober now. This place is beautiful. I will come here often to meditate. - Jake.
Odd my snap silent blur. I'm 22, always trippy hippy happy.
Welcome home.
6 August 2021. The labyrinth was really cool. It made me appreciate nature more. And my boyfriend. ♥ - Irving and Adela
15 August 2021. Beautiful reflections in a beautiful place - a chance to connect to my new home. (Please do not leave trash here).
(child's scribbling with adult comment:) Translation: I miss you, granddad.
This was such a cute location! We want to return with others to share the beauty of this place. We might plan a group activity where we leave small painted rocks in the middle for others to take. I hope this continues to prosper as the years go on, and thank you to whoever created this! Love, Jerrica
Distractions and worries do nothing but distract from the beauty and blessings in front of you. Let that sh** go! You are on the right path - forever and always. - 222
21 Aug 2021. Respect others. KSC ☺
25 Aug 2021. peace & love & happiness
Take a moment. Close your eyes. Feel the sun shining on you. Feel the breeze. Listen to the birds and bugs. Fully feel every sense of your body. you are fully experiencing the moment. You are one with all. Peace & blessings. ♥ ॐ
Late August. What's up? This is a good walk for All.
28 August 2021. I dropped my girlfriend off at the airport today. I miss her dearly. She will be gone about 12 weeks on eschange to Costa Rica. I will count down the 87 days until I see her. Sadly I don't have anything to leave at the center. Maybe she and I will come back later.
28 August 2021 I took the path. It was longer than I expected. I got two bug bites.
I love you all. See you. ☺ I love myself and all
1 September 2021. There was a bug chirping loudly throughout my walk thru the labyrinth. At one moment I realized the noise was coming from the center. As I kept walking, I felt close to the bug. I sat down in the center and listened to it.
After this walk I felt maybe life is worth living an extra day.
2 September 2021. I think this structure was interesting.
5 September 2021. I don't live in Flagstaff any more, just visiting a friend for the weekend but I was adamant that the labyrinth had to be part of our steps around town. It always brought me such peace during a turbulent period of my life. Thank you to the wind and the rocks and whoever built this space. When I walk the labyrinth, I recognize many plants by name, and it feels like old friends are here to greet me. I love the labyrinth. ☺ ♥
5 Sept 2021. Plants need to be trimmed but it is amazing~ 1/4 mile! -CM
6 Sept 2021. I came here before and its been something creative to do in Flagstaff. This time I came with my dog and boyfriend. It's nice to see the sun and flowers surrounded by rocks.
This is my first time here. I've known it was here for a year. Very interesting. I enjoyed the realigned path at the wind chime.
I think each rock in the labyrinth is one dead person. It's just what I think.
6 Sept 2021 I do not have much other than thoughts about how beautiful Flagstaff is. IT has the ability to put you in a trance. ♥
Bob Ross painting in real life. Come at the right time and the sun blends perfect thru the trees. Go outside! Enjoy nature!
10 Sep 2021. It was fun & interesting. The flowers and weeds were a nice touch. ☺
Family. Connections. Peace - inner peace. Breathing. Acceptance. Allowing. Being.

11 Sep 2021. Very beautiful. Not sure I felt anything spiritual, but this was a very pretty work of art.
11 Sep 2021. Life is short so live it for you. No one else should direct or correct your life. Love you all. - Jeremy C ☺
28 Sep 2021, 5:51 PM. Thought it would rain today, but it didn't! Just cloudy and cold. We tried to discover a new trail, and heard screams... Dutch and Sushi joined us! C is doing midterm art project on today's adventure. A is having a great day. B = head empty, no thoughts. C needs to pee - seek medical attention. D feels full of adventures.
23 October 2021. After walking this maze, I had an epiphany about my ex-best-friend and my husband. They have been screwing around behind my back. Now I going to set his closthes on fire and tell her boyfriend. ☺
27 October 2021. The only reason for me to come to Flagstaff was to walk through this labyrinth. Thank you. ♥ It brought clarity to me. You are Beautiful, Brave, and Bright! Aloha and Mahalo ♥ Bless us all ♥ I feel gratitude. ॐ
30 October 2021. Walking the labyrinth is reflecting on the path of life. I started out curious and unable to focus on any one thing - excited by everything around me. I got quiet. I had to take a picture of everything. Then I slowed down, focusing on what was directly in front of me. Walking the labyrinth allows me to feel different emotions, curiosity, hurry, slowing down, boredom, not wanting it to end. Sometimes I feel I already been in this place and I wonder if I'm going in circles. Once in the center, I trust the path even when I don't know where I am and how much further I have to go to make my way back out.
1 November 2021. The labyrinth is one of Flagstaff's best kept secrets. I find inner peace here. ♥ Very well maintained. Thank you for the magic. ♥ ☺
4 Nov 2021. I am falling for this dumb !@#$% - and there is nothing I can do about it!
You brought me to this labyrinth once. This time I came alone, to think about what my life would be if I set out on my own. I took one step after the next on this path of stones. I thought about my years with you and how time has flown. Although we've been together for years, I now feel so alone.... At the labyrinth today, I came to see that I am already on my own...
5 Nov 2021. Melissa, George, and baby George (4 weeks old) visited on a fine autumn day.
Tammy I am so sorry for how I hurt you. But I need to let you go now. Thank you for everything. Love, KG ♥
29 Nov 2021. Today during my path in & out, I was with my partner and we were able to reflect and remember what our love is and why we appreciate and need each other. It has been a whirlwind of emotions for us for the last month and I am grateful we found serenity on our reflective walk in the labyrinth.
29 Nov 2021. My partner and I have gone thru a lot this last month and decided to go for a walk. Our walk led us right here to the labyrinth where we walked to the center and thought about ourselves and how we love each other. I will always be there for my partner, and I learned how to do that today.
30 Nov 2021. I only recently discovered the power of labyrinths from my mother-in-law. I am so grateful to have this in our community. Before I started my walk today, I asked "How can I become a happier person?" As I walked I learned "Let go. Stop trying to control everything." this was hard to hear but I know it will do me good. As I looked up I saw a windchime with "222" written on it. 22 is my lucky number, and 222 is an angel number for positive change and new beginnings. - Avonlea
2 Dec 2021. A lot has happened in the last year, Dad's in jail, Mom is abusive and manipulative, but hey at least my family is still alive. I am grateful that they taught me how blind I was, and not every experience is the same. I like some people and don't like others but when it comes to C I have no idea. I like having sex with him but I don't know... I come here every morning with my dog Rowdi. We love the labyrinth. He's getting good off leash. I did mushrooms the other day; I wish I had gone outside instead of listening to Jesse. I'm mad at myself for not standing up. Some a-hole kids just threw ketchup over the labyrinth signs - they won't realize how sacred a place can be until their minds grow. - KG
3 Dec 2021. Tommy, thinking about what we could have had makes my face warm. You could have loved me, but you didn't even know me when we had a young fling on that rainy day. I should've known it was you, and I'm sorry I robbed you of a more intimate first. You might hate me for that. I will happily say I loved you. I couldn't admit to myself what I felt for you until it was too late. You were also dealing with me at start of life-changing trauma. I needed to find myself. Yeah, I slept with a lot of people, but that was then. I wish you could see me now. I wonder how you would react.
gotta stay hydrated
8 January 2022. The highlights of 2021? visiting Flagstaff. good health. a family filled with love! I put snow for a glittery decoration. with love and peace K2RJ
10 January 2022. You can't change how people are. you can only change how you react to them.
Know where.
14 Feb 2022. The labyrinth came as a surprise as we took our senior dog on a walk. We walked the labyrinth and at the end I needed to pee and he needed to sleep. Overall, a cool place to b, and brings what you need I guess. -Charlize & Griffin & Chubs ♥
18 Feb 2022. Came from Tempe AZ. 21-year-old girl just trying to find my path by continuing my journey... there's a long way till I succeed but I will leave my mark. Today was fun day, I went to snowbowl with Alonso, my first time his second, it was a blast.
19 Feb 2022. The memories you make with the people you love is the definition of happiness.
Interactions among consciousness are often seen to manifest as ubiquitous give and take. This is counterintuitive to the intent of the earth. We as humans must acknowledge our nature. all these interactions are temporary. Why perpetuate the proposed requisite negative?
I am currently here visiting my beautiful girlfriend and her college friend. It is my birthday today and I am so glad I can spend it with her. She is the love of my life. I hope I have a future with her. Other than that, life treats me well. I hope to focus on people and things that make me happy.
Things come and go. People come and go. All that remains are memories.
13 March 2022. Thinking about observing a lot. Thinking about growth and endings and beginnings. about art. and rocks and plants and so many things you can notice in one area before you stop noticing. It's nice to walk because you know you are going somewhere.
14 March 2022. Another year another bounty of memories. You part was with some people and let others in and receive the blessings or lessons they offer. Bearer of the curse... take the darkness form others, hold them high, and let their light outshine the sun. Their weight is that of a feather because they will take your hand and let you feel the warmth too. This curse is not what it appears, because the path is less treacherous with those who have seen the darkness. They will be your beacon, your lantern, your blessings. - C. H_.
18 March 2022. Grateful for my hometown and my mom. thankful for Julia that we're friends. Happy birthday Jake you know I love you. I'll keep pushing forward for myself and everyone else. See you again in the summer.
18 March 2022. Strange how my trip to Flagstaff has made me appreciate the sound of birds. I remember being young and being overwhelmed by their songs and annoying calls. My dislike grew when my phone alarm was the sound of a swarm of birds. I went to Sedona this week, I'd never heard of the city and didn't like their festive commercial streets. I liked the skate park, I don't skate but I liked the presence of skaters and bikers and hikers as I enjoyed crackers and cheese with my Flagstaff friend. Nice, sunny, mountains,... and the sound of birds! a beautiful moment. In a Gilmore Girls scene, Loreli says she only likes poptarts because her mother hated them. My old house was surrounded by bird feeders and birds. My mother loves birds.
19 March 2022. I stumbled on this site by accident while on a run. I hadn't run in a while but a Tiktok said if you ain't in a gym, they're f-ing your wife and I can't have that. I'm in love with M_. I 'm so happy when she's around. She's clever and her laugh is my favorite thing to hear. Sometimes she'll scratch my head or drum on my arm and it makes me love her more. As I walked the labyrinth I noticed I was getting closer though I seemed further away and I was getting further as I got close to the center but still leaving. It made me think of M_. She is such a free spirit, it felt symbolic. As I get closer, am I pushing her away? Will she just treat me as a friend like she always has? I've tried to get close before only to be friend-zoned. I love being her friend but I sometimes she seems more than friendly, but I can't be sure and I can't be sure and I can't risk losing her by making a bad move. I hope someday we'll be together. I love you M_. Hope you never see this but if you do I hope you feel the same.
I wonder how these woods and this area will feel after these drug-fueled hazy days are over. sober except the 4 leaf clover, am I ever getting closer? Yes, but what I take dilutes life. Tried to quit but highs are pinned to other highs. Controlled the one in the middle of my thighs but still I'm here again on an unplanned night. Told my dog I'd be by her side but drugs now reacting inside. Know I'll be fine but I never really make today the day I quit falling into this grip. It's my last step to take my life in directions few people do. I should enjoy food at the same time as people in my house do. Look Another payment for something due.
Not a suicide note. not a suicide note. not a suicide note. not a suicide note. not a suicide note. Pray for my friend, J&A
24 March 2022. It was a nice walk, and took my mind off my trouble holding on to life. Then some young rich a-holes in a pickup truck truck shouted catcalls at me. But I like this reflection sheet. Next time I will fill one out. If I am still alive!
26 Mar 2022. Came here with my girlfriend on a spur of the moment hike. We almost walked past the labyrinth when I saw the sign pointing the way. My girlfriend thought it was a curse symbol, but we are glad to see it. I was feeling stressed by school and life, and was nice to be in the moment. I found an unlit cigarette at the end, and picked it up, but then threw it out. This was a great find, will recommend.
27 Mar 2022. I went on a walk with my future husband today. It is a nice day outside. Wheeeeee!!! I love Jake.
Sky & Mac ♥ 4-ever ♥
I like how quiet it is, and seeing what others left. I left a giant spoon. I did backtrack because I was not paying attention.
I'm working on myself, and that brings reflection. I want happiness and moments like these to provide moments of calm happiness. Than you. ♥♥♥
Be present. It's all we really have. It's a gift (a present) to ourselves. ♥
My new favorite place to come.
3 April 2022. mindfulness, peace, love, joy, spirit.
Very fun! ♥♥♥
3 April 2022, 6:23 PM. Didn't think of much. It was neat just to walk and not have to be somewhere at a particular time. it's a beautiful labyrinth.
2 May 2022 ♥, I reflect on my past weekend with Zach. My love for him is beyond all experience. But this weekend I realized I've lost my emotional attachment to him, and he feels the same way. When I got home I cried. I need to let him go, for my sake and for his. I love you forever. I hope to keep a simple relationship with you. (How I felt this weekend). Goodbye my love. ♥. - Your bulvarian sugar cookie.
2 May 2022. I've recently been caught up in my Job, alcoholism, and just not living in the moment and being healthy like I used to be. While walking the labyrinth I was more present. I forgot my problems and noticed the smell of pine, an interesting lizard, the sound of the wind and wind chime, cars in the distance. I should come out more now that the weather is warm. Grateful for this moment. ♥
4 May 2022. So difficult to clear my mind, but a beautiful location in which to try doing so! It was wonderful to take a break surrounded by beauty, and to reflect on all I am thankful for.
13 May 2022. Today I came here with my boyfriend. our first activity being back together. I hope we share many more days together like this. The air, the clouds & trees , the sun, the breeze, the warmth, everything.
15 May 2022. Today was great. I f* love everything right now and I am so grateful. ♥ - Kayra.
15 May 2022. Today was a great day. I bowed to a rock. I've never bowed to a person, but I bowed to a f* rock! I respect that rock!
24 May 2022. when bad things happen to you it is OK to to let yourself cry and deal with it in your own way as long as your remember that you are loved and strong and you can get through it even stronger.
24 May 2022. Sometimes I forget that outside of my room there is a world of mystery and beauty. Moments where I find peace, moment when you feel love and a quiet happiness in just being alive. I am grateful I am alive and I am lucky to share what it means to live.
25 May 2022. Magic and wonder are always here. Do not doubt it. Beautiful synchronicities all around us. Enjoy. Slo-o-o-w down... I am ok ♥ 222
25 May 2022 . Here with my sister and there is no one else I'd rather be here with. Grateful for the time an experiences we have together.
There's nowhere to go because there's nobody to go there. (This is "fake deep")
29 May 2022. Briana, Andrew, and Phineas. My boyfriend isn't very spiritual but he says he feels at ease here and that really means this place is a place of healing.
There's nowhere to go because there's nobody to go there. (This is "fake deep")
1 June 2022. For the last 50 years I do long trail runs 3 times a week, typically 5-7 miles per run. On the Sinclair Wash Trail and AZ Trail since 2006. For the last 2 or 3 years, about 10-20 minutes into my run, I look at nature and blurt out loud "I love you." I get the same feeling here.
2 June 2022. Today was a late start. We had amazing pancakes, Sadie was obnoxious but cute as always. The labyrinth was decent but could have been more traps.
4 June 2022. So on the trip I saw lizards and a letter. So I got so scared I thought Itaxp was a dead bear and I cried. I like the maze. It was a fund tip. I enjoyed finding tree houses and watching my kids get scared. Fun adventure, PS. Hello yellow butterfly following us along. I see you mom and hear you. xoxo. MS HS LS MD RD
5 June 2022. Lovely plants, bird song and lots of lizard today. To to break away and walk with intention after too much work. I though of work but able to come back to the present through my walk.
6 June 2022. GAAP was here!!

23 June 2022. Love lives by no definition, make your own. Your people will come and go - the right ones will stay. Even so, live in your own. You are supported, you are see - even in the reflection of the gentle breeze. Everything is yours, take the time to listen and you will be heard. All the love, Ava, Andi, Nate. ♥
24 June 2022. On a day when the Supreme Court made a devastating decision, there is little solace in reality. But nature provides reflection. For all people affected by this decision, I am sorry. I believe in the anger, strength, and love we have to continue through. - Rachel L.
Longest shurest day... trust in the universe, everything will work how it is supposed to.
3 July 2022. Mind centering, reflecting on family. It was nice, when it is the end/centers always somewhere to keep going hmmm ump brmmm ump hmmm. Thank you for the beauty you have created. For the work - effort, time, expense. Beautiful way to connect to nature and our center - our superior being. I loved doing this and learning about it. I love the peace.
10 July. July in Flag. Taking time to reflect on the journey this place brings me. Taking the time to be okay and with all good and bad. To make some life-changing changes!
13 July. It was nice. Ian, Noah, Isaac.
(In early July 2022 this plastic ball, full of rocks, appeared just southwest of the labyrinth, near the "lava chair". A few of the comments and signatures are typed below.)

25 July 2022. My friend took me here today and I really enjoyed the labyrinth. It eased my mind off the stress in my life and made me appreciate my surroundings. Along the way I made a boquet and placed it at the center. I hope everyone enjoys the labyrinth. ♥
25 July 2022. Made flower bouquets! Took my friend here. We got away from class to have a relaxing time.
Rest in peace.
30 July 2022. I was not looking for this place. I saw the chalk sign on the rock and assumed some kids put it there so people would look at a cool path they had found. I'm glad I love listening to children. This IS a cool path. I'm here on the first day of adding movement to my life, and I am going home so grateful. With a reminder to meditate naturally too.
7 Aug 2022. There was a season for me here /it passed some time ago. /Now it seems that season /has returned to me /and I have returned here. /Our seasons change and if we /do not change with them /we cannot become ourselves. - JDC

21 Aug 2022. I came on a walk with my love monkey today to see this beautiful place with my own eyes, and it'd wonderful. Can't wait to have more adventures like this with my love. Sarah. ♥
22 Aug 2022. I need to be okay with being alone and I have to find hobbies that I love to do alone. like skating!
26 Aug 2022. C & A. 222 Two things to work out. (written on a $1 bill)
The stress and anxiety every day brings to me. I wish to leave it all behind.
I've buried $300 at the base of the tallest tree in a 1 mile radius. Find it.
You are in the most beautiful city in Arizona. Feel the sun shing on your neck, the breeze tickling your sleeves, and the sweet pine scent wafting over. You have nothing to feel sorry for. You are alive on more beautiful day in this strange world. Joy is everywhere.
24 Sep 2022. I couldn't stop singing "my neck, my back" in my head.
24 Sep 2022. Stranger friends. Sunshine, laughter, and a good I can bring anyone closer ♥ HAGS. Just vibing with the wildflowers. No one can judge my reflection - it's my reflection. Baby's first labyrinth!
26 Sep 2022, 10:14AM. I'm back again, with another boy, and I love him, but this time I think he loves me too. ♥ Mica
26 Sep 2022. Life is good. Is she the one?
I'm lost. My mind is losing grip. I don't know show I am and I might hurt myself. But one thing I know: life is a labyrinth, what's on the middle is up to us. At times it seems we are getting nowhere but with every corner I round it is good know it eventually leads to the center. Might as well keep going.
I'm holding so much back and it's not healthy. I know I can feel better and happy. I am so amazing. ☺
It doesn't have to be now. It doesn't have to be perfect. Breath into the moment and love yourself. Follow no judgements, no fears, embrace fully how much you have to give and receive. so much love, so much joy, so many connections to memories. to smile to cry to the sky. All is well.
October, October again rolls around /and when our jaw lines become more profound, /when we grow as tall, as tall as we are allowed, /stuck behind the screen, your voice is still nowhere to be found. /A long walk to find cigarettes on the ground, /a new puppy is born, but an old dog stays put at the pound. /All new friends, all new faces, but the same f_ing town. Growing old as the old dog growing sick of the crowd, Growing sick of October because you're not around.
As most of my wishes have been for about a year, I wish C_ and I a long happy life together. I also wish prosperity for my mom and for Julia ♥
May prosperity rain down upon them all.
Wishing for love light protection, banishment of evil, good health in my life. I wish for him to learn his lesson. I wish for my mother to be healthy. I wish for the sea to call me when it's my time. ★
Sunday, Oct 9 2022. Charlotte C. in my 10th year of life. The labyrinth was calming and helpful. It let me enjoy nature. The sould of the windchime was calming. I came here in fall so it was nice and cold. The bacground is gorgeous. Me and my family loved it. I hope you love it too.
Oct 9 2022. Have you seen it yet? /That distraction always glinting at the edge of your periphery? /Have you seen in fully? /You know what that is? /It is the you waiting to happen. - JDC
Flagstaff... the weather changes /almost forever on time /the trees wave hello.
Nov 11 2022 ☺ Stay forever humble. We will be 31 and 32 on the 13th. ♥
Nov 19 2022. This past week, I lost belief in myself, that I could accomplish the task at hand. I felt the weight of my disbelief pull be down. In that moment, I was my own inhibitor. BUT I turned it around. I sat with my feelings, not able to put my finger on what was wrong. I left my attitude behind and changed my perspective. Now I'm into creating a business that will others. It will be incredible because I believe in myself that it will be... and that it already is.
After years of self-development I can finally say my journey is begun, and I realize I am my own person who can accomplish any task at hand.
Love is infinite! JM
Love is kind ♥ JR
I got split apart from my friends.
7 Dec 2022. I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I'm glad I did. I love you.
11 Dec 2022. Life is a lot shorter that it may seem. Take time to step back and look at your surroundings. You neve know what you are missing if not looking in the right places.
Dec 11 2022. I want to be it all. I want of live with intention, change, and spontaneity. I don't want a life of certainty. I want change, inconsistencies, & contradictions. Because I know one thing will stay the same. I will trust myself to carry me me through life with contentment, living to my full potential of kindness, peace, and love. ♥ Chlo
It is what it is till it ain't.
19 Dec 2022. AMazing how much path you can fit in so small an area. I wonder how long this too to make. What if it's a magie fairie ring that transports me to another dimension when I get to the middle.

13 May 2023. Live life a little slower and look around once in a while.
14 April 2023. Kind of weird but I feel good.
15 April 2023. Life has come full circle in the best and most unexpected way.
1 May 2023. Pain is inevitable in life no matter your social status. Pain helps us grow and is temporary. We learn from pain and use it to grow stronger. Take each moment in stride and improve yourself and the world. Don't let opportunities pass. Live fully. It's up to you.
1 May 2023. I liked that there are no forks in the road. I like how my friends were at their own spots in the labyrinth, but we would get close to each other at times. I liked how even though you go backwards at times, you are still always moving forward.
12 May 2023 I feel so thankful as I feel myself stepping more and more into who I am. I am learning to speak my truth without fear of being "unlovable" or "unworthy." I can feel a lifetime of expectations melting away as I become aware. I see it so clearly when I'm present enought to take a step back and ask "Is this what I want or am I learning to love and embrace who I am."
I am strong. I am bold. I am worthy. I am so thankful for who I have been and I am so in love with who I am now and who I am growing to become.
22 May 2023. Magnificent experience. Quite spiritual and low key. Dominic
30 May 2023. This is a fine nice art.

I love mom.
Broad paths So that you may fly over Earth by the plans of the sky.
I'm happy that they made this place and this trail because it is super fun for kids. Whoever made this: it is super exciting! - Raven
We are thankful for Flagstaff, nature, preservation of nature, our community, bananas, pickles, and animals.
9 June 2023. The path will wind. You may feel so far from your destination at times - so close to where you began. But that is is simply the path. Trust. Breateh. Smile. You will get there. And this it will be over so quickly. I love Ian and I am so excited to marry him. It will be a wonderful time.
I found myself walking the labyrinth after deciding to go for a walk. Today I went this way by chance, sending me thru the spiral of rock and flower for the first time in a while. I'm happy. Truly happy. - Elise.
13 June 2023. I am grateful for my friends. ☺
Be content. Stay open. Nothing is wasted. This is for you. Specific to you.

27 Jun 2023, Humans cannot gain anything without first giving something of equal value. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days we really believed this was the world's one and only truth. - Brandon T_.
27 June 2023. Don't allow the oder that life requests to falsify your actions and make you unhappy. The incessant forward marching of time will be your enemy. To achieve a great life, give to people and enjoy your time here. It makes life worth living.
27 Jun 2023. The labyrinth wants me to recommend Gakuryu Ishii's 1995 film August in the Water. You can find it free on the internet archive and probably YouTube.
Love and light. - Snow bunny, Sleepy Lev, Baby Mel. ♥
6 July 2023. I wonder what the world would be like if I grew up in a place as peaceful as this. Would I have grown into a more lovely, calm, centered person? My parents did the best they could, they raised their children with their own demons and whatever love was left over. What can you if your father was a child molester? Nothing but release excessive analysis and start anew. I pray for the well-being of all children, women, and plants. Thank you, Flagstaff
11 July 2023. Life is incomplete without animals. Our dog Kane has taught us to love unconditionally. Animals should be revered and loved. Flagstaff is wondrous. Enjoy the beauty. Don't take it for granted. Peace & Love - Ben, Raquel, Kane
So Groovy. Far out.
My house is on fire. But I am not on fire. ♥
Grateful for family and friends. ♥ Thank you. P___ family. Alli, Dreco, Rochelle & Paul ♥
20 July 2023. ♥ I feel like I found myself here today. My life partner, B, had their first labyrinth visit today. Then stayed quiet for the longest time I've ever heard them be silent. This experience deepened our love and will be in our thoughts forever. Amaste ♥
20 July 2023. I am awoken! My journey this afternoon has left me with a new set of eyes. Entering the labyrinth today my mind and my judgement were clouded. I had no idea where to go with this life I was given. Now, having exited and given my time to the beyond, I now SEE where I am supposed to go. Thank all for this opportunity.
30 July 2023. This felt nostalgic to a childlike wonder and peace. Felt like magic again.
1 August 2023. What you put out comes back to you. Treat others how you want to be treated. Love yourself first and always. ♥ xoxo
5 August 2023. First cam up and didn't see the path. Once I saw it, my feeling towards it felt awe. I started the walk but didn't realize the amount of paths in the path. I was really peaceful.
5 August 2023. I feel a bit disconnected today. Tired, dry, but content somehow. I'm grateful for my life as it is. I'm afraid of starting a new relationship and of my new job. But everything is going to be just fine. I just have to stay in the present and cotinue to be gratefully in love with life. ♥ Thank you for this time to reflect...
6 August 2023. I miss my dad, Aug 5 2018. My boys are the most important in my life. I pray I find love in the coming year, and find my soul mate. ♥
18 Aug 2023. I ♥ my GF. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
18 Aug 2023. Although life has many changes and our path may seem unclear, as long as you have a clear goal or destination, you will find your way.
19 Aug 2023. Sometimes we dance around the point. but we can just skip to the heart of the matter.
21 Aug 2023. I know I am going to have a good school year after this journey with three - eventually four - friends.
21 Aug 2023. The labyrinth is very cool and fun. I planned dinner with my roommates in the center. Chicken... macaroni... salad... ♥ mmmmmmmmmm.
23 Aug 2023. I brought my oldest friend Brenna. We walked in silence. We left with rose hips and good vibes
24 Aug 2024. Life is so much more than what we experence in a single moment. It is a collection of moments, and we are so much more than how we feel in that moment.
Life is exactly what we experience in a single moment.
25 Aug 2023. On my weekly visits, I have always enjoyed hearing and seeing the windchime in the tree on the southernmost circle. Today it is gone. I feel sad that some person was motivated to climb a tree to deprive us of this amenity. Public spaces remain public assets because everyone does their part. Public spaces become public nuisances when a few people behave badly. I am sending good energy to the bad actor in the hope they will bring back the windchime.
A-Mazing!!☺
I love showing new people this secret spot. I appreciate how respected this place remains. ♥ Rachel
I love funny macaroni. I love Charlize! ♥ I love ,,,
25 Aug 2023. I leave wondering about the great unknown. I have questions for humanity. I am afraid will never be around. But I have hope. The beauty leaves me scared.

2 Sep 2023 Adelee Julie Rodinson. It's so fun! It's like a real labyrinth. From Eliana.
I'm a fungi
Zoz in the maze? Zaza hit diff here. Look behind you. Best of my life.
Purple was here. r smash ☺ Why did you listen to a piece of paper. This is a crazy smoke spot. Hello Random People.
Be good to one another. Take a walk, ride the bus. Eat bagels with who you love the most. Life is short but god life is long...
Beautiful day for a bike ride. Love your labyrinth! Deb, Chris, & Motim, Philadephia. Enjoy every day!
I'm sad my best friend is leaving to study abroad but I'm happy for them.
Flag's beauty is unmatched. Go Jacks.
It's quite a long trail. - Mark. I feel like a walked a mile. - Me. I'm so excited - what's going on? - Paola. It's very long - Siridean. "Speechless. I'm free! - John. There's no greater attraction in the Southside neighborhood - Siridean. Thankful there's no minotaur in the middle. - Malcolm. Life has its twists & turns but you eventually get to your goal. - Ryan. The way back it much shorter than the way there. - Paola
1 Oct 2023.. I've been down this trail for years, and I always thought the labyrinth painted on the rock at the bottom of the hill was the labyrinth. Much to my surprise I followed the side trail and discovered the actual labyrinth! lol. Whoever reads this I hope it finds you well & happy. Colin C_, Ann Arbor MI
1 October 2023. Taking a nature walk with my friend after graduating college is quite enjoyable and less stressful than the last time I walked this path.
1 Oct. I recently stopped being with the person I love most. Im now sitting in midpoint of between our homes. Two nights ago I went to see him and he didn't look familiar. I love him still but now is the time to let him go. He isn't mine anymore. Although I will haturally always fight for him, I need to let it be.
6 October 2023. Lately I've been losing the people I love most. I saw The first loss coming, the last one I didn't expect for a year. It hurts. I'm trying to be grateful for this change. It's hard to learn something new.
6 October. I'm glad this took so long, gave me long to think and love how long it was.
8 October. Relief Peaceful ♥ Look up! Serenity now!
I'm so pretty everyone here sucks unless you're also pretty. Love you ☺ ♥ ★
11 Oct 2023. Two years ago I asked the labyrinth to change my life for the better. That very night I found my boyfriend was cheating on me. Now I walk this path after breaking up with my latest boyfriend. I came here for advice from the universe but ended with an empty mind and a sense of stillness. The only thing that can heal me is time. I forget what it's like to sit with Gaia. I struggle with having no friends in this town, but here I feel safe. Life will get better. ★ I find myself at this stage of womanhood and 19 years, a genius, a thief, a liar, a moral vagabond, a fool more or less, and a peripatetic philosopher. I also find this combination cannot make me happy. ♥ Prophet girl /chosen by the sun /Do you hear the goddess whisper? /Silent stardust words? /cursed daughter uttering insanities no-one believes /Do you regret taking the vow? ! Divinity will stain your fingers and mouth like a pomegranate, it will swallow you whole and spit you out. You will reach for it again and again, greedy human fingers. The divine will curl thru your veins and take you over. I feel divinity in my bones like aching, like fire. my favorite feelings. - Alora
Not only was the labyrinth epic, bt I had my first kiss here and was was rad.
Pretty sure i'm better than everyone else. I so cool and pretty and spectacular. Yahoo. ♥
Amazing class field trip. So many beautiful 3rd and 4th grade reflections. - Mrs B__
The maze was fun and took a while because my gf didn't want me to trip.
Hello and Smile. Sobriety is the way to go. First time here and it's very cool. Smile. Michael #1
22 Oct 2023. A long and winding path. I stubbed my toe, but is was okay shortly. A beautiful day.
28 Oct 2023. It is so hard to be a human and to feel. Sometimes taking a walk is the most immediate therapy. Talking things out with myself in nature - a safe space where I am unafraid of how my inner thoughts might sound if I voided them out loud to another human.
30 Oct 2023. I did my best. God did the rest. Love all.
Finally found it. -- Dennis & Nancy
Life is short an you should do what you want. I know it's not always easy but you can do hard things! When life gets hard, look around. See the trees and the sun and know this too will pass. Love, Me
How beautiful we are. K & L
6 Nov 2023. A bit of peace in our chaotic world. A hidden Flagstaff gem... my husband and I celebrated 24 years of marriage walking this as part of our day. ♥ He always finds the labyrinths for me. Thank you for placing this here.
7 Nov 2023. Death becomes us all!
10 Nov 2023 Hello
12 Nov 2023 Thank you for this beautiful place of reflection in nature in the city. Thanking god for all her blessings and praying for peace in the world. Remembering our departed family and friends. Our lady of akita, pray for us.
15 Nov 2023, Wednesday. Following the 19th I was very mindful of the steps I took and being in the moment. I came across a fuzzy caterpillar and a centipede and I didn't want to step on any bugs. Entering the center I saw things other people left behind and found a 10 peso coin. After that I retreated back inside my head and got on my phone. I realized that I abandon everything including this. I took some breaths and made my way back out. I saw some more bug friends.
17 Nov 2023. Iris. Okay. Fine. Good.
In the labyrinth I realized I used to be so mom-like and I was annoying. And I've changed and it's good... because of drugs.
At the end of they day if we don't try new things, we don't grow. Got to live life with no regrets and try every opportunity. Yolo!
Reflected on restoring peace and intentionality. Stacy, Oklahoma
22 Nov 2023. I reflected on life
17 Dec 2023. A good 2 months in Flagstaff. In November 72% of Voters rejected the plan by the millionaires to move the hospital out of town. And this week a packed crowd in the City Council Chambers spoke loudly in favor of keeping our Climate Action Plan and rejecting the proposal by climate change deniers to defund it. When asked how many people in the room favored keeping our Climate Action Plan, EVERY PERSON stood up. Not one of the climate change deniers spoke or showed up.
I walked through the labyrinth, hopelessly in love. When you are real, you don't mind the pain.
Happy New 2024
Happy 2024 Thank you.
Date: The Present Moment.. Momento Mori. everyone you know will dies, including yourself. The past we cannot change. The future we have no control over. All we have is the present moment.
2 Jan 2024. We had a wonderful time. Our friend Landyn was the one in the middle, a sexy xx. We added our very own prizes in the middle: a one of a kind vanilla bean and body works hand sanitizer, It'll be gone by the time this note is found because it's so exclusive. Sincerely, the weird Wilson 3rd Floor Girls. Mwah!
17 Jan 2024. A bit linear and we felt a little out of options. However it made for a great snowball fight. (Note to myself: don't play with a handball player... yes it hurt!) Sincerely, Ya MOM (but seriously, 3 from Germany) Auf Wiedersehen!
19 Jan 2024: My girlfriend and I just walked the Flagstaff Labyrinth together for the first time! It was super muddy and icy but we made it work. Did you know you can make an ink pen work again by heating it up with a lighter? We drew some magical unicorn oracle cards in the middle. Stella got "One step at a time" and I got "Finish what you started." I had so much fun walking in and out. It's just what I needed today. - Carson

26 Feb 2024. After the Corps of Engineers put the Rio de Flag in a concrete tube, very little water will flow in the canyon below. What will happen to the willows and aspen and dogwoods and maples that live there now? Will they die? Will it take 5 years to die? 20 years? Will anyone notice?
26 Feb 24. life is short. live it to the fullest.
28 Feb 24. Take a moment to look around at all the beauty around us. You are a gift, so is this life. Smile more! Love more!
This labyrinth holds ancient magic of my ancestors. It made me cry tears of beauty and connections to my bloodlines. These tears healed my soul.
10 Mar 2024. Let's rock and roll with monster brusks, and repeat. -Ezra, Age 5

10 May 2024. Found a nuthatch nest today. Life is good.
5 May 2024.I want enough. I want to pay enough attention. I lost the person that meant everything. All due to what I failed to do.
Hope. Love. Light.
4 May 2024. Hello! ☺
1 May 2024. I have been traveling alone for a while. On my own journy I the labyrinth a gecko appeared next to me. And the leaves waves hello, as did the breeze. I felt witnessed for being in Flagstaff and happening on this labyrinth, alone. Then I felt witnessed by god. And by ancestors, I am not alone. Feeling witnessed is important. At the center, I felt complete, whole, present.
3 May 2024. My experience was great. It was the best. I'll come here again and again.
3 May 2024. The walk was aa=mazing, It really made me think about my friends and how much they mean to me, and how well they support me.
3 May 2024, This was great.
It's cool songs, it's fun and ya
Thank you for this spot. I felt the need to get outside and follow my feet, and they took me here. I took a moment to be grateful for my life, miss my borther, and be grateful for the love I'm consumed with. I listened to 2009 by Mac Miller, simply the best by Billianne and mammal talk by Prince of Eden. May the unlimited blessings of the universe be with you! Let's go somewhere far, somewhere real bizarre." ♥
It was fun.
22 May 2024. Life is good. I spent 3 hours dancing, totally in the moment, feeling the music, looking into the eyes of each dance partner in my arms for a few moments, feeling the connection, moving on.
23 May 2024. I have to change myself so that I can change the world with my soul and my music. I know it was true love because I am healed and I no longer long for him but I still love him and I'm at peace without end and I wish him the best. Haley Rose
27 May 2024. First time here. Makes me wonder why it's here at all. Lots of questions about the past. - Paul V
27 May 2024. (5 notes on one page) I love Flagstaff. Never do I want to leave - Kaura. I love the trees and being in nature. Flagstaff is my fave place. - Tristan. I miss Flagstaff and hope to be here next year! 2025. Really cool labyrinth! Just no cheating - Jacob. Cool beans! For the love of the trail!
(child's writing) 29 May 2024 . Rosie manny Karle. (adult writing) fun hike and beautiful scenery! Rosie is 5, Manny is 3, Kalley (mom) is 30. ♥ LOVE.
2 Jun 2024. In the journey of life, we all trip and make mis-steps. What does it help you learn? Trust the process... just when you think you messed up or missed something, remember you are on the path. As I walked my journey alone today I was "interruped" by several kids chatting a mile a minute. But the most amazing thing came when I was curious about my feeling. The wise little souls echoed the lesson -- dont give up, just keep walking! ♥
3 Jun 2024. There are times when you get so close to the end goal, only to get re-directed in a new direction, Trust the path. You will get there. -Caleb
Says I saw love, this means I am (5 illegible words) happiness... Notions of love.
I ♥ hot moms.
Stop for the journey
5 Jun 2024/ I am at an important stage in life, facing a difficult choice. This helped me make a decision and do the right thing for my beautiful daughter E.A.R. ♥
9 Jun 2024. I hope this upcoming year is filled with success in self-growth, friendship (new & old) and believing in myself. PS. Drones are kinda scary. -- Your mom
16 June 2024. fun walk... my girlfriend loves chhese. You should put cheeze in the middle (of the labyrinth). Also this thing I'm writing in is gonna five me tetanus. The same way rats walk thru mazes to get cheese. ☺. I love her so much. She is my heart. ♥ - J&N
It was my first time here. I'm fro Tucson and explored today. It was an awesome walk andI'm very glad I experienced this. I love Flagstaff.
22 Jun 2024. 1PM. I stumbled on the labyrinth on a short Saturday run. I saw the ide of Doing It then writing a Reflection. So I did it. I ran it (as best as I can) so I could see and remember the pattern on Strava [running app) later. It was fun and reminded me of the careless innocent fun I had as a child. As I grow up and get ready for the real world, I will stop and have fun too.
Jun 22, 2024, Labyrinth. It's fun. I liked it very much.
24 June 2024. Reflectful morning. Birds, wildlife were jumping for joy. Butterflies black & yellow.
Labyrinth, I liked it. You know you are close to the center when you are most outside. Isaac. (age 5).
companionship. peace. love. honesty. to be at peace. all from within me.
4 July 2024. I am donating my pen. Hope nobody steals it. I had a good day today. Hopefully I get another job soon so I can afford another pen. Smooches, hug, kisses. Missing people! See ya!
4 July 2024. Shorts feel good on my legs, Plants graze my calves as I walk this labyrinth. I thank the majestic girls who provided this pen.
10 July 2024. The trees blend in the white eatable clouds.
10 July 2024. I think this is a good pen and smooth paper. But where is the end of this maze? To keep people from jumping over the rocks, it needs electric fences instead of rocks so no one cheats. Hola!
12 July 2024. Awesome experience! 10/10 would recommend! - Sus & Abe ♥
It was hard to reflect with the half-dressed man in the bushes. But it was quiet and good to take a moment to get away.
14 July 2024. My immediate impression after the first few turns was an allegory of my life. The first few turns were uncomfortable and disorienting, but my feet soon learn the feel of the ground, the pidth of the path, the tickles of grass. After a few more turns, I realize I've walked the path the left... or was it the one on the right? Eventually the distinction between past and future became irrelevant. What matters is the current moment. Love always. ♥. Thank you.
16 July 2024. After 21 years of life, I am not close to answering "what does it take to become a good person?" How can I make a difference? I will keep searching for answers, but I hope I never find them. My life is a never ending process of trying to find impossible answers in unusual places.
Flagstaff is so much cooler than Phoenix. ★ Also, I need to work on my patience. ★ ♥ - Thei.
19 July 2024. While I walked I thought about time. Not only knowing how old the rock is. Also imaging how this area looked long ago. The time and energy put into making this labyrinth. The broken glasses on the center rock helps me think of many people who went here before me.
Super cool activity. Never seen before. I loved the experience. Yours truly, Tony the Cheif. Thank You.
21 July 2024. Michael & Paki took a long walk and spoke about current election candidates. We plan to leave the US and travel together. First stop: Spain.
24 July 2024. I have been struggling with sobriety, depression, loneliness for weeks. I was sent to Flag for medical reasons and decided to do a quiet reflective walk when I stumbled on the labyrinth. Though things are very tough now, sitting quietly in nature tells me that the world is not against me. There is much to live for. There is even more to love. Stay strong.
I want to write something but there are no words to describe...
I felt such an amazing energy walking around it. I thought about who I am and how I can be better for myself and people around me.
27 July 2024, During the first part of the walk, all I could think about was how angry I've been with someone who used to be a friend. I've been angry for months, unable to let go of my hurt and betrayal, but when I got to the center I realized I forgot I was walking with my best friend, and I decided I can think about it next time I walk this maze.
30 July 2024. Basically... Don't Stop Dreamin!
31 July 2024. I should buy a boat.
5 August 2024. I took my dog and we walked together (on leash) to the center. Then I unleashed him to see how he'd walk back. At first he followed me. Then he got lost and sat down and gave up. Silly experience. ☺
7 August 2024 . Speak my mind. Be honest with myself and those around me. Be unafraid of tough conversations. Trust thow who care about me and love me.
7 August 2024. I thought so many things while walking the labyrinth. They've all gone away. They don't matter. The mosquitos are relentless. Now I remember... it is so uncomfortable to stay in one place. I'd rather walk all day till my feet bleed. The plants that grow between and around these rocks have been here since they were born. Will I find enlightenment at the perfect place and time? The sunset is pretty now. Maybe I should let the mosquitos have their way with me.
7 August 2024. Mountains are not moved alone. It takes a village, a will, and a borrowed power. Bring those who see a need to move that mountain... whose desire for it burns like your own. - D.G.
10 August 2024. My voice is the one that can guide the lost and blinded. The grass can be hard. The rocks can be soft. Rocks, walks, and Toby... lemons, pine cones. Crunch. Pinecones, Crunch. Take me back Toby. The voice of loved ones will always lead you correctly. Sincerely, Bois
I reflected that I love my boyfriends and he is the best. I hope he feels the same way.
(child's writing) I like the maze. Love.
17 Aug 2024, Every path leads to love.
17 Aug 2024. My anxieties are my own. Flagstaff brings me peace. Hayley's birthday weekend trip
17 Aug 2024. I'm going to marry ♥ Haley ♥. I'd be my life on it. -JB
17 Aug 2024. I found a black bead in the center of the labyrinth. I am reminded that there is darkness. I believe light will overcome it, but sometimes I am in darkness, and that is hard/ Be a light, look for light, wait for the light. In the darkness I will be still when I don't have strength. I will push with my light when I feel strong.
When I entered I was greeted with wild flowers. I think of the girl I used to pick flowers for. I will see her tonight at a welcome-back event. I haven't seen her in 7 months so I spent my time thinking of what I want with her. I wish her well. I'm glad I came here to think it over and realize I am really OK. Keep Flagstaff weird.
The labyrinth was peaceful. I bvv the stuff in the middle. I thought about my life a lot.
17 Aug 2024. Maybe loving yourself isn't just about self-care. I'm taking myself out for dinner, picnics, bubble baths. But the way I do it would make a boring date if I were with someone else. Maybe I need to enjoy my company instead of accepting it in lieu of someone else.
I walk in the labyrinth is whoou life is hard past to make.
17 Aug 2024. Every year I glow older, the more I realize I know nothing at all and that everything I know is only my experience with age. I've chipped off parts of stone that I was sure was part of me. Sculpting away rock to reveal my true self is a painful process, but I must forgive myself. The future is what I make it.
2- Aug 2024. I'm from Minnesota. In 2 days I return to Minnesota to go to the State Fair, where my favorite thing is the Butterfly House. One time 15 butterflies landed on me! I enjoy Arizona and maybe I'll go to college here. Maybe you can come to Minnesota too.
22 Aug 2024. Too many mosquitoes :(
24 Aug 2024. It was cool.
25 Aug 2024. Thoughtful. Peace.
30 Aug 2024. I left the most at peace I have been in a long time. Grateful for my life and the people I share it with. Thank you, labyritnh.
30 Aug 2024. This was my first time here, a truly beautiful experience, I felt very calm, I will be back again. ♥
30 Aug 2024 @ 18:30. visited the labyrinth with my best friend Sara. We are so blessed to live in sucha beautiful place with so many mysteries and hidden wonders, Flagstaff amazes me every day. ♥ - Amy ☺
1 Sep 2024. It's strangely natural to follow the flow of the path. It's calming. It's fascinating to know that I'm following the footprints of thousands before me, both physically in Flagstaff and historically across cultures and times.
One day far in the future, these will be considered fragments of ancient pottery...
I am scared of what the future holds, both soon and far away. I want it to be good, and to be what I decide, but I don't know.
We followed followed markings on rocks that led us here. We didn't know what to expect. I can feel the energy of others who sat on this same bench, walked the same path, and felt the same calm I do now.... 10/10 ☺
Blue. I love blue.
Don't look back. You are not going that way.
20 Sep 2024 ♥ Thank you for this healing resource. / ♥ Blessings arrive with every step. / ♥ The path is nonlinear and abundant.. / ♥ New perspective emerge with time and direction. / ♥ Community everywhere / ♥ We are pure love consciousness. / ♥ Our bodies are dsigned to regenerate.
27 Sep 2024. The last day of our honeymoon. We wanted a labyrinth in our wedding ceremony. Life didn't allow it and that's OK because our wedding and reception were prefect. It is also perfect that after an amazing trip thru AZ (we're from CA) we find this labyrinth. So symbolic of our relationship. The twists and turns of our lives, same place, different time, different place, but we we meet and walk out together. Thank you Flagstaff... Dane and Megan D_.
29 Sep 2024. Came here lake at night, feeling lost, alone, between jobs. directionless. fell off my career path. Feeling numb. no future?
