Today I entered the labyrinth with a heart full of gratitude and a yearning for healing. With each step, I whispered thanks—for blessings known and unknown, past, present, and unfolding. I walked not in search of answers, but in devotion to the mystery.

It struck me again, as it always does—the scattered glass glinting among the stones. I had gathered so many before, yet still they appeared. A quiet symbol, perhaps, of the endless layers of self still waiting to be noticed, to be held.

When I reached the center, I invited my guides and teachers to join me. I asked for insight, for communion. I asked for a teacher who would meet me eye to eye, heart to heart. That’s when the vision began.

At first: a side view of an eye. Weathered. Ancient. A story carved into skin like worn leather. Then the eye turned—seeing me. Within its gaze, another image emerged: a smaller face in the pupil, distant but clear. Observer within observer. Witness within witness.

Suddenly, the scene shifted. A burst of radiant light rose, then poured downward like a blessing into a shimmering pool. Encircling the water, glowing beings gathered. They dipped their hands in, drank the liquid light, letting it anoint them as it spilled over their luminous forms.

I, too, reached into the water and drank. I felt the light enter my body, not just as brightness but as warmth, knowing, belonging. Then came the plunge. One by one, they jumped into the pool, and I was drawn in too.

There was a moment of hesitation—a familiar fear of fully letting go. But I was gently guided to surrender. So I submerged completely, releasing into the current of trust. When I emerged, I was not the same.

I walked out of the labyrinth with reverence in my chest and awe stitched into every breath. I do not yet know the whole meaning of this gift, but I know it was a gift. And I will honor it by sitting with its light in stillness, and listening.
