Labyrinth

I think of a mase and the movie of the same name. Had David Bowie in it and a mase. I like the way it sounds and has three parts to it. Glad you are having such a good day. I wonder if you have had very many Mylotters in for tea lately. I like the cammomile to help me sleep and green for nuriment.

Oddly enough, that film - because it's so darned awesome.

I've always liked this word...it makes me think of a maze with various doors to secret places so that you go in and out of various rooms...some have traps of different kinds like a nest of spiders or snakes (friendly ones) while others have treasures like a pirates chest full of coins or jewels or there might be a sideboard heaped with beautiful porcelain. It's finally raining...we've been expecting it for days and needing it for weeks and now it's been raining for 2 days. YAY!

I would think of the movie. I had a couple of friends who were SO into that movie! Mind you, Bowie was gorgeous in that movie!

this word for me conjures up the idea of a sort of alice in wonderland type world haha! .. but i see from my response i fall into your rabbit idea too lol!

Hi Anne, Having a background in medicine, when I see the word Labyrinth, I think of the inner ear. Specifically labyrinthitis, which is a swelling of the inner ear structures and usually affects a persons balance.

I have always had an interest in mythology, so the word Labyrinth always makes me think of the labyrinth of Knossos where the Minotaur was housed. I believe this is also the origin of the word and despite the fact that it is now accepted as a description of a maze or other entangled web is based on the similarity. If I remember correctly the film, which I saw a long time ago, was based on a similar structure in which the Goblin King kept children he had abducted.

I always think of a growing hedge maze as a labyrinth. I do not know why unless it is from a story when I was a child.

I think more of a maze where you walk around in and get lost

Labyrinth...what comes to mind? a place where you have a beginnig and you walk through passages which turns this way and that and at the end you will find the way out! very much like life really! life in it self is a labyrinth we have choices at every corner we can go this way or that! the result will only show at the end.

Similar to what comes to your mind, I think of a maze because of the fact that the term labyrinth is a synonym for maze. Most recently it makes me think of the corn maze that we took the children to during the Halloween season, we were lost inside that thing for close to an hour and though it was a lot of fun, it was also very confusing as well. It definitely didn't help any that it was dark at that time.

Funny enough, when I see or here the word 'Labyrinth', I think of David Bowie! I've seen this movie many many years ago, and I think that it had made an impression on me that I can always relate to it. I haven't seen this movie for a while, and I can't even remember the story line, but I definitely know that David Bowie was a bad guy.

Because man is the most complex creature in the known universe, it was inevitable to design the maze, so it is a construction material, concrete, but signifying a spiritual experience. Worth remembering these things because nothing stimulates our imagination more than this mysterious building that can not be addressed in material, concrete, and especially spiritually, than with a kind of fear full of pleasure: human fear and joy divine . usually, when we say we thought the maze leads to Minos, Crete, Minotaur, Dedal, and Icarus, because the plan is a maze of complex construction material, road crossings, some of which are landlocked, that someone has to pass through the to reach the center. Myths tell us that access inside the maze was preceded by an initiation ritual, testing by the hero who had to pass to advance to the center to allow concealed., Reserved only for those of passed tests proving that deserves to have access to mysterious revelation. In the spiritual, the labyrinth symbolizes a journey to the interior self, to that deep and hidden sanctuary where what is hidden is to be found in the human being, this journey involves human focus to himself thousands of roads passing through the sensations, the emotions, and the ideas. During this trip it turns me inside and plan to return to normal existence will mean the victory of spirit over matter, of the eternal over the ephemeral, of intelligence over instinct. If you would have to go all the way reasoning would say that the Ariadne's thread in all the spiritual journey of self-knowledge would desire ... Now, here we are returning from the trip made ??the desire to answer your question, how many will read all I strung here, remains to be seen, for me it's important enough to read you. Only well.

Whenever I come across this word, I actually DO think about the 80s (or was it the 90s?) movie, Labyrinth, starring David Bowie. It was my first time to come across the word and fortunately, via said movie, I found out that it is just another word for maze. So yeah, you can say that the movie and the word itself are memorable to me.

I think of the movie Labyrinth (the one with David Bowie in it)! and second to that would be those old time ones manors in England used to have.. now we have corn mazes! Around here that is..

I think of those farms where they have mazes made out of corn (maize, in word play!?) and there was a news article not long ago where a couple got lost in one of them and panicked.

I autimatically think David Bowie and a baby in striped pjs. Love that movie!!

When I think of labyrinth I think of a maze a person has to find their way out of. I think there is a Greek story where there is a labyrinth where the creature who is half man and half bull is in but can't find it's way out. That is what I think when I hear the word labyrinth.

David Bowie's movie, that's the first thing. Then--thinking about the word--I see a twisted bramble-bush, almost black (the leaves having fallen off and with a drench of firmly-fallen winter-snow). And "When I Am Five" is playing in the background.

Labyrinth is sort of a maze right? It's some place with stone walls or it could also be trimmed hedge. If I may ask, why is it that you think of rabbits when you hear them?
