It's so wonderful to get lost in a sea of tall corn and to hear people giggling in the other rows, as they try to find all the clues and make their way back to the entry. <br />Labyrinth...in the way it's spelled is magical.Heather Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754067768246898183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-9736056122834732942011-04-15T10:28:16.519-05:002011-04-15T10:28:16.519-05:00I love this word and all the heavy meaning it can ...I love this word and all the heavy meaning it can hold.

It's a common mistake to think they are both the same. Labyrinth have only one way and always lead to the end, whereas mazes are multiple and you can get lost in them.<br /><br />I prefer mazes.<br /><a href="http://nahnomclein.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><i> Nahno ∗ McLein</i> ™</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16548562702122142828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-44308043458487748092011-04-14T20:41:41.922-05:002011-04-14T20:41:41.922-05:00I'm glad others mentioned the movie :) It'...I'm glad others mentioned the movie :) It's one of my faves!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-1275487273870767262011-04-14T19:10:36.356-05:002011-04-14T19:10:36.356-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-83113033906859359792011-04-14T19:10:35.906-05:002011-04-14T19:10:35.906-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-59718642857903540732011-04-14T19:10:00.586-05:002011-04-14T19:10:00.586-05:00Thanks Ann!

And what a great metaphor for writers/writing, as you've demonstrated here.<br /><br />I'm back from my daughter's, the one who had neck surgery, and doing catch up on friends' blogs. As I'm typing this, I'm seeing the Kaleidoscope flashing, and that reminds me of the kaleidoscopes of my childhood. Haven't thought about them since then--until now.<br />How DID you get this to flash on your site?<br /><a href="http://annbest-jen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Carbine Best’s Long Journey Home</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-19551977893619839612011-04-14T16:44:52.322-05:002011-04-14T16:44:52.322-05:00Love this post.
