Pools and fountains are everywhere. There s plenty of solitude, and often, even sunshine. The fragrance garden is a particular delight. It lies off the main thoroughfare. Surrounded by a waist high sandstone wall, the path circles through patches of herbs, lavender, various geraniums, a huge lemon verbena, and others whose names I don't recall.
Water trickles into a pool.
It was here that I felt the presence of nature spirits. Then I struck the bell. A labyrinth's curved paths can be made from gravel, sand, and even mown in the grass. Path edging possibilities are stones, brick, liriope, other grasses with perhaps daffodils interspersed, and fragrant herbs. Unlike a maze with tricky turns, deadends, and entertainment as the goal, a labyrinth leads us on a single path to inner discovery and increased awareness.
