"I believe in the language of symbols, because they carry the power to transcend barriers, allowing us to travel beyond the barriers of culture, intellectual dogma, and ultimately personal identity." Juan Rosenfeldt. A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world.

The elephant is a symbol of the strength of the mind in Buddhism. Exhibiting noble gentleness, the precious elephant serves as a symbol of the calm majesty possessed by one who is on the path. Specifically, it embodies the boundless powers of the Buddha which are miraculous aspiration, effort, intention, and analysis. AND...it's an elephant.
