Introduction
This event will be held in the evening between 7:30 pm and 9:00 pm because the tide is low during that part of the day. So the walk will be held at night, however, the beach is lit by the lights of the city.
Remember to dress for the weather.
Location
First, find the Sunset Beach Cafe which is on English Bay in Vancouver, at 1204 Beach Avenue and is down the hill from the corner of 1100 Beach Avenue and 1400 Bute Street. Make your way to the walking path on the south side or ocean side of the Beach Cafe. Facing the water, the Burrard Street Bridge will be on your left. Walk toward the bridge and the fenced area of the parking lot until you reach a light on your left and the 'No Dogs Permitted on the Beach' sign on your right. The labyrinth will be on the beach where the land slopes toward the water, behind the sign. The picture above shows the exact location of this event.
(Please see the pictures below the poem which, hopefully, will help you find the labyrinth)
- The Hemispheres
- Leave the familiar for a while.
- Let your senses and bodies stretch out
- Like a welcomed season
- Onto the meadows and shores and hills.
- Open up to the Roof.
- Make a new water-mark on your excitement
- And love.
- Like a blooming night flower,
- Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
- And giving
- Upon our intimate assembly.
- Change rooms in your mind for a day.
- All the hemispheres in existence
- Lie beside an equator
- In your heart.
- Greet Yourself
- In your thousand other forms
- As you mount the hidden tide and travel
- Back home.
- All the hemispheres in heaven
- Are sitting around a fire
- Chatting
- While stitching themselves together
- Into the Great Circle inside of
- You.
