I leave today for Chicago, going from 95 degrees and dry to 95 degrees and 85% humidity.
This trip is two weeks later than originally planned, but I can feel the energy of this perfect weekend (plus 3 days for me) aligning.
It struck me today as I looked down into Security screening and the miles of black elastic stretched back and forth, that maybe I was looking at the Labyrinth of the 21 the century. I mean really, where would be without air travel? It seems impossible to imagine our world without it. And how many feet of this black elastic are strung back and forth, a daunting aspect of every traveler, across the planet? I take a quick trip into a fantasy of wondering about the entire industry of people involved in making the elastic to create the labyrinths in the airports across the world.
And I wonder, as I look below into the sea of bodies moving snail-like through the Security maze, how many of these folks have ever actually walked a Labyrinth…a real one?
The first non-elastic Labyrinth I ever encountered was at the amazing cathedral in Chartres, France. We were part of a tour that seemed like:“25 castles and cathedrals in 10 days”. But I was really looking forward to Chartres, since it was Catholic and Mystic (like me 
. We arrived on a sunny spring French day (“April in Paris” is usually gray and rainy), and I was the first one up the steps and through the doors. To my utter dismay, the amazing, spiritual, mystical labyrinth was completely covered with metal folding chairs to hold the overflow for the popular mass upcoming…Easter. Never having seen a real labyrinth, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was torn between my desire to actually ‘walk’ the labyrinth and the feeling of blasphemy of having it covered by all these 20th century, ugly metal chairs. Sigh…so, I didn’t get to walk the labyrinth that day, but today, I walked the elastic labyrinth at DIA (that’s Denver International Airport).
And now, here I am sitting in First Class instead of row 19 as originally assigned; so the Force is with me! No, I’m not a platinum plus member, but this morning, during my meditation, I decided to plug into the ‘upgrade matrix’ along with the ‘safe/on-time flight matrix’ and here I am…well 10 minutes behind schedule, but not bad. Since studying and practicing Matrix Energetics my very visual consciousness has had a field day! I try to ‘see’ ahead to every place that I will be playing and connect to the morphic fields that handle all the details. I see my travel Angels at work aligning all the perfect things happening for me, and I keep saying ‘yes’ and ‘thank you’ to every moment that unfolds in its perfection.
Example: today I couldn’t get signed on to American Airline’s website, so I had to call, and I still couldn’t get my seat changed. Instead of frustrated and flustered, I imagined an old fashioned switchboard with all the wires and plugs that connect thingies, and asked the ‘operators’ to connect me to the right upgrade person. And, I kept breathing and trying to be patient and letting go…not easy, but a good experiment ; worst case is my aisle seat over the wing, which Sid swears is the least turbulent. Finally, at the gate, the lovely boarding agent called my name and now I’m writing from 1st class, only $30 less in my pocket. Thank you angels of travel!
Looking out the window from 33,000 feet, the land below is checkerboard-ed with green farms; another labyrinth of the bread basket of our country?
The words Sacred Geometry click through my brain… I’m not much of a math wiz, so I think I’ll go back to my red wine, served in a REAL glass, and my warmed assorted nuts (no peanuts included) and read my book. Chaio!
21St Century Labyrinth?
