Milwaukie, OR - A neighborhood corner

This compact, five-circuit pattern is just a small gem to be explored. I almost went right by it as it is attached to a small church building in a quiet semi-residential area in this suburb of Portland, Oregon.

According to the Franciscan Spiritual Center, the religious center that occupies the space, the labyrinth was added in April 2020. Thinking back to that month, that was the start of a very dark and difficult time for so many people. Hopefully access to a peaceful labyrinth like this, with its well-manicured grass rows among the bricks, has been soothing in small ways for many.
