A description of the program includes a quote from St. Augustine, \u201cIt is solved by walking,\u201d and the following description: Through a meditation guided by medieval and contemporary scripture, poetry, and song, listeners will be prepared to walk toward the labyrinth, enter in calm silence, and walk humbly with God. A labyrinth is a spiritual tool serving as a walk-centering activity for the human heart, mind, and soul resembling the indirect path of our lives, which leads us into the center of the human condition, the heart and mind of God, the very core of illness or pain, and the focal point of enlightenment or understanding.<\/em><\/p>\n
