How to design a labyrinth

How to design a labyrinth


This is worth knowing just for its coolness but there are people who believe that walking a labyrinth will help you find solutions to your problems or new ideas, inspiration. Of course you’re not supposed to be worrying about vampiric initiations by muscle monsters, probably not the best way to encourage meditative state of mind.


Anyway labyrinths: they require logic to create and intuition to walk.


1. Start with a cross:

2. Dot the corners of the square:

3. Draw your first arc – from the top of the cross to the top right dot:

4. Now, moving anti- clockwise one place from the start point, start at the top left dot and draw a curve to join it with the right arm of the cross:

5. For each curve your start point is one step anti-clockwise from the one before and your end point is one step clockwise from the previous end point.

6. This is a simple labyrinth so there is only one more ring to go:

DG

When was the last time DG wrote on here?

DG

DG's gone really moody - what's up with him?

Diego

Diego's started to smell bad.
He wore the same clothes to the last two parties and I'm sure he hasn't changed his uniform for a loooong while...

Mar - Still Heartbroken

See? Nobody cares. How can anything be more serious than heartache? They’ve never been in love before that’s their problems. Especially Mrs Maths – maybe she was once but she’s forgotten what it feels like – my world has ended. Termino.

Mar - Heartbroken

I can’t take it anymore! I have no one to be there for me – they’ve all stopped listening.

So now it’s just u & me dear journal. No one else understands the heartache.

Diego has “outbursts” all the time for no apparent reason at all but they just lead him quietly away and talk to him. I get detention – que mala! – Just for walking out of maths – in tears – heartbroken.
