- Thank you for a quiet moment in life.

- What a neat thing to stumble across on an evening walk!

- The children with us had a great deal of fun and were challenged. What
a treat to see them focus! Thank you.

- Thank you! It helped be at peace and allowed me to reflect upon a
significant issue that needs resolution.

- Thank you. A somewhat initial skeptic has been converted to its charm
and serenity.

- This was an amazing experience, something that the Boston College
community needs more of. Wonderful job!!!

- I always wanted to walk the labyrinth at Chartres, but each time I was
there, it was covered with chairs. Thanks!

- This is amazing. A permanent labyrinth would be uplifting.

- Very cool. Intensely meditative.

- At the end I felt weightless and refreshed spiritually. Thank you.

- Exhilarating, freeing, wow!

- The best experience I've had in a while...

- Gives you a time out of the day to just think. Helps bring things into
perspective.

- Nothing would make me happier than to have a permanent place to go to
meditate and think and be. This has been fantastic. Thank you.

- Creative power is fostered here!

- Letting go on the way in, rejoicing on the way out... Thank you!

- Peaceful...

- Thank you. Time to center, focus, move and be!

- What a gift. Thanks!

- Such a positive, peaceful experience; a form of prayer that relaxes
and energizes; a strong connection to God and nature. A permanent
labyrinth would be a wonderful addition to prayer life here at Boston
College.

- While walking the path, I wondered whether it could be permanent - it
would be wonderful - it's peaceful and centering.

- Very soothing. Appropriate after a week of midterms.

- It really is a sacred place! I found an answer for which I was
searching a long time.

- I am so happy that something like this exists at BC.

- This is a really neat thing to do. Sounds cheesy, but I really liked
it.

- It's wonderful... at first feeling mad that you can't get out of it
and feeling trapped, and then accepting it.

- Thank you. At first it seemed silly, then quietly, gently leading to
something higher - twists, turns -So many of our paths are
straightforward. Please, can this stay?

- Wonderfully meditative experience. Please keep this as a permanent
space.

- Absolutely beautiful. I didn't go to BC but here, on a visit, I did
the labyrinth. When I have my own house, this shall surround it.

- A wonderful to attain peace. You can see where you're going but after
the initial frustrations about how long it takes and not knowing the
route, you don't care and can focus on the path, one step at a time.

- Wonderfully fulfilling! This is my 4th trip around. I love it.

- A wonderful meditation and reflection time.

- My third pilgrimage. Thanks.
