A labyrinth is one of the oldest tools for walking meditation — a single unbroken path that winds to a center and back out again, with no dead ends to solve. Unlike a maze, it asks only for presence.
The open palm on the cover is a gesture of offering and receptivity found across contemplative traditions, a way of saying "I am here, and I am listening." Placing the labyrinth inside it suggests the journey toward clarity is held in your own hands.
Paired with blank lines, the cover becomes an invitation. Trace the spiral first to soften the noise, then write freely, without editing what arises.
Together the two rituals echo the same idea: that insight tends to arrive through patient, unhurried attention.
