Perhaps I am talking to myself on this thread at this point ... lol. But you must be used to my rambles by now ....
I've been thinking about something all day. It starts with the fact that I woke up feeling utterly wretched... physically. I had finally had 8 hours sleep (dreamless at that) but my legs and back are killing me. Stiff and sore I feel like one does after lifting heavy stuff all day or like I got hit from behind by something. My voice has been a mere shadow of itself all day ... hoping its back tomorrow!
Now the fact is that the only thing remotely strenuous I did yesterday was make the labyrinth. It wasn't hard to do ... I chose my places and poked thin sharp stakes into soft earth, wrapped string around them and poured seed, 2 hours work, tops. This leads me to believe that a lot more energy goes into these kinds of things. Designed to actually do something on a mystical and metaphysical level, they have purpose. Purpose requires intent, intent requires ones own energy ... you either have it or you don't. Your own body generates its transferable energy, a very good reason to take care of yourself when you're working with it and spiritual energy. Lesson learned here ... lol, at least I didn't get sick before hand .... which has been known to happen!
