This is the tried and true method that I first learned from my Latin teacher in high school, which we used when we got our new, hardbound copies of The Poems of Catullus and The Odes of Horace.
“Moral: Even a well-bound book may be easily ruined at first opening.”

My 11th grade English class has been studying translated texts by authors—Borges, Murakami, and Marquez—who reference and use labyrinths as symbols in their writing, and we have been working with a semester thematic focus of “Narrative Labyrinths and Infinite Possibilities.” We decided to create a walking labyrinth outside.
The guidelines for walking a labyrinth are simple:
- Walk at your own pace, becoming aware of your own breath
- Follow the path until you reach the center
- Stay as long as you want in the center, reflecting on your journey
- Use the same path that led you to the center to take you to the exit.

Caine’s Arcade. A lovely short film (about 11 minutes).
(h/t Ryan Lawler)
If you haven’t seen this inspiring film about nine-year-old entrepreneur Caine Monroy — who imagined fantastic new uses for a pile of cardboard boxes at his father’s east Los Angeles used auto parts shop — take the time to watch it today. It’ll make your day. (Bonus: Flash mob!) Also inspiring: Thanks to the power of sharing and the Internet, a college scholarship fund has been established for this young man.
