This is how the plan started...
The first scrawls so to speak, and certainly freeform at this point.
Basically I was just searching to define a feeling of "how it should be....."

Okay now let me elucidate a bit on how it actually happened, the process so to speak.
I arrived home with this knowing that I would build a large Genesa Crystal and place it in the middle of a Labyrinth.
I needed a Labyrinth obviously, not something you can buy and it is not as if I  would accept any old run of the mill labyrinth... with all due to respect to the amazing creations that have gone before.  It had to be unique to where it would live, combine with the ambient energies and enhance. Not that that I necessarily thought that through so thorough, for me it just had to be right. "Right" as defined by it's feel, I trusted that which was needed would flow.
So picking up a pen I flowed a little, and the above image was the result, all of a few seconds worth, but it was a key and I had a start point. It actually didn't do a thing for me at the time, sort of an "aaarrrrrggggh" that's awfull....
and then this image to the left is what followed, the smudges being where I erased and altered. 

How does one describe the act of creation like this....... it just flowed, I knew the feel I required. It's not to scale but........
Note there is no head piece, this is what "felt" right at that point.
 
To the field, it was clear where it must lay and so I set the axis up, sticks in alignment, how I felt it should be, how it would fit. Once I did the calculations ie: width of path and strip between it began to dawn that this was big! At this point Marie, still a tad bemused, pointed out that a little pivot to the left with the axis and it would be sitting on a Ley Line............. okay..... well I never saw that, but I heard the truth of it, and then I find there was a crossing line where the Genesa Crystal was to be..... as you can imagine there was a growing sense of flow and what was to be.
 
Imagine if  you will your front lawn, leave it for a year or two or three, let it matt to excess, toss in the odd Californian Thistle or million, take a rotary mower, geriatric at best, carry it to the centre you have defined, (there was no pushing possible), and you have the start. Having worked the figures I knew how the paths should be placed and to define them I just used a piece of string of defined lengths, centered in the various circles and lots of little sticks to mark the curves, or various points on the curves, the rest was done by eye.
 
A couple of weeks later it was there, walkable and rather wonderfull. Every days work led to the walking of  what had been created so far. It is hard to judge from  now, (the writing of this page) just how it actually went but it seemed to me that as each section was created and walked it was......... re-inforced, given a sense of validity you might say.
 
So I sat with this a while, the Genesa Crystal had been added, and it was rather wonderfull to walk...... but then there came a sense that it needed a head. This is what developed.........

In a way this section is more........ "formal" than the rest, more defined, and likely more associated with mind than spirit. It's job was to undefine the defined in some way, the simple act of following the path with it's back and forths had the effect of......... well, discombobulating the mind, releasing it from where it may have been fixed. This in turn eased the burden so to speak, and allowed the energy to flow as one walked the body of the Labyrinth.

The Labyrinth was now complete.


A FURTHER NOTE OR TWO.......
 It seems that an enterprise such as this Labyrinth of such large scale, or any other enterprise, can be a major task. The sheer size of any project can seem daunting. But as with the actual mowing if you reduce it too short sections and just focus on them....... well the biggest task becomes just a matter of a few simple steps.
