Labyrinths come in many shapes and sizes, but they are all designed to do the same thing: they act as a meditation and prayer tool. Some places to walk the labyrinth in Texas are provided below.
Labyrinths represent wholeness and the path to the center of man. The labyrinth at the church of Carnot is perhaps the most famous labyrinth, but it is by no means the only one. All can be found throughout the country, in various sizes, shapes, and construction materials.
Labyrinths should not be confused with tricks, which have dead ends and false paths. There is one way to the center of the labyrinth, another way, and that way is clearly marked. When you walk the labyrinth, you want to be calm and quiet while you try to figure out the puzzle.
According to Labyrinth Locator, there are more than 140 labyrinths in Texas alone. Because of the population, this list will not be complete, but a representative sample of some places to walk a labyrinth in Texas.
