September 11, 2001, is lovingly offered and
maintained by the community.
May it stand as a breathing testament to the infinite

village as home and their neighbor as family.
Like the splendid gardens it houses,
may it flourish and grow.

The Peace Labyrinth is modeled in the
mini Chartres design with a crushed red stone
pathways lined by paving stones. The labyrinth
is an ancient pattern found in many cultures around
the world. The path winds throughout and becomes a
mirror to where we are in our lives. It touches our sorrows
and releases our joys when it is walked with an open mind
and an open heart.
