7/3: tracing a path

...that works kind of like a meditation labyrinth through the Mt. Assisi formal garden.  I had figured it out 5 years ago (the last time I visited), but I had forgotten how it worked when I walked in the garden on Monday.  Tonight it came back to me easily.  And I really needed to have something like a meditation labyrinth as the day neared its end, so the timing was perfect!  As I finished, the fireflies were beginning to blink in the shadows.

And another good thing:  a collection of very nice and helpful people--some friends, some strangers--as I dealt with my mother's surgery and an unfortunate bit of car trouble.
