The rusted wind chimes

Wow! It started off raining today and turned out pretty nice in the 60's! The snow is still melting, and spring is in the air!

I'm starting to feel a little better each day, but tomorrow starts a very difficult course of treatment. I was also informed that I have to continue with chemotherapy through these next few weeks. Thought I was done, but I guess I can endure another two treatments. {sigh} It's the radiation that is going to be difficult. Just pushing through each day - just like the spring pushing through the winter.

A place of worship - inside the labyrinth

The labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to your deepest self and back out into the world with a better understanding of who you are. This place of worship exists in one of the buildings of the Mayo Clinic. I stopped in for a prayer and to follow the labyrinth after my second day here. It's going to be a long journey. One more day here at the clinic, and then it's decision time.

Again, today's shoot was edited slightly by cooling down the color tone using Picassa (and this time cropped a bit). Still limping along without a computer. But there are some wonderful photographic opportunities that exist within these buildings - the habitrail, the common areas, the art, scultpures, architecture of the buildings - it's truly a labyrinth in and of itself. Now to find my way back out to the world.
