About the Book
Labyrinths reach into prehistory and have no geographic cultural, or religious limit. As medieval times passed, labyrinths fell into disuse. In recent times labyrinths have emerged as spiritual tools, a modern mode of worship and have brought with them a sense of peace, comfort and rest as one walks the labyrinth's path, stops to meditate, reflect or think deeply.
About the Author
On holidays and weekends in summer the author often stayed with grandparents. At home, she sat with her father to hear tales of Dad's youth. As she grew she found herself writing of family incidents she had been told. Through time images continued to settle in Virginia Ward's plentiful library. There were books of grandchild memoirs, and writing guides for the young and the mature.
