Mazes are like puzzles. I like puzzles. They stimulate the mind and give me satisfaction when I solve them.
Lately, life’s been a maze. (It always has, but it seems like more challenging maze now than ever.) I can’t decide which way to go. I know I took the right turn coming to Australia, but what next? I know I can’t be 100% prepared. In a sense, I’m prepared to be unprepared, and ready to take on whatever comes my way, but this waiting, this anticipation of the uncertain is unsettling. Maybe that’s what I need to learn: to be comfortable with uncertainty.
Before Haruka goes back to Japan, she takes Tomoko and me to Ashcombe Maze and Seawinds Garden in Arthurs Seat. I really enjoy spending time with friends. Thank you both for an enjoyable day trip.
The Hedge Mazes were probably my favourite, because that’s what I imagine mazes to be like. I like that the hedges are taller than me. I like that I am confused and find myself circling around the same spot; this amuses me. (Sounds like a dog and tail chase.)
The Seawind Gardens might as well be Level 5. The sign from the carpark (parking lot) says 200m until the sculptures, but we walked passed it like a thousand times. We find it eventually. It isn’t as amazing as I hoped, but there will be another post on what did amaze me (stay tuned!).
Amazing.
