made of the heck with sugar and spice." – Bethany Hamilton.
sisu
the courage to be
(see-soo)
n. Finnish
Sisu
describes a unique personality trait as inner being informs outward
doing.
To have this kind of courage is to have the determination to get things
done against impossible odds. With perseverance, tenacity
and imagination one can take care of things.
Sisu is best witnessed in others and
resists precise explanation.
the Dancing Woman story
The
Dancing Woman Labyrinth was created by Lisa Gidlow Moriarty (www.DancingWomanLabyrinth.com)
in response to her mother’s death to
cancer and her own cancer survival.
The Dancing Woman knows grief, she bears
the tears and celebrates the days of joy and survival. She is a symbol
of women’s strength
and compassion. Her uplifted arms reach out
in a supportive embrace her wild hair suggests freedom as well as the
unexpected ways
hair may grow back after chemotherapy.
The entrances under her arms are reminiscent
of a friend’s support and protection. She dances
with wild abandon in release of pain. |

about
the labyrinth pattern
The
labyrinth, an ancient universal archetypal symbol, describes not only the
path to wholeness, but identifies life as a spiritual journey that invites
one to find deeper meaning in life. A labyrinth is a sanctuary a safe and
sacred place in which we can reconnect with ourselves. Walking a labyrinth
is a way to find inner peace, to live more consciously, to connect with nature,
to help heal grief or trauma, to solve problems or to set goals. Like Augustine
said: It is solved by walking.
You
can read more about the meaning of labyrinths and how to build one, on the Rainbow
Labyrinth website.
