Maze

A confusion with a centre

What it often means

Mazes show a problem you have been circling. They can feel maddening — but they also have a centre. Even being lost in them is a kind of progress toward it.

When it tends to appear

  • When a decision has felt circular
  • When you cannot tell forward from sideways
  • When patience is the actual practice

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    What problem keeps repeating itself in different forms?

  2. 2

    What might the centre of the maze be holding for you?

  3. 3

    Where might you stop trying to solve and start trying to listen?
