Never mind that he's apparently unaware of the differences between mazes and labyrinths. HB (Huntington Beach) MazeMan is an "ephemeral artist." He's also very much an entrepreneur, and by that I mean: he creates experiential art on public beaches, while tourists drop donations into a tip bucket nearby.
Like lots of other folks, these out-of-towners thought his handiwork was a-mazing. The ocean swirled at their feet while they set up a tripod, the better to capture their kids at play in MazeMan's labyrinths.
His designs caught the attention of this little girl, too. But watch–she's got some artistry of her own in mind.
Children ran through MazeMan's labyrinths with joyful abandon. They posed reluctantly for hovercraft parents. But the little girl in the purple shirt stood apart from all of them, etching her own set of squiggly lines in the sand.
Every once in a while, the other kids looked over their shoulders, to see what the girl in the purple shirt was up to. If she noticed them watching, she wasn't at all distracted.
The sun drifted lower in the sky, and the tides receded. Families came and went, but the little girl just kept on drawing.
She stopped for a short moment–maybe to admire her handiwork. I thought she was finished at this point, but it wasn't long before she started up again.
"Welcome!" she wrote, in these hastily drawn letters. And whooosh–before I finished snapping this picture, the little girl was gone.
To each, his or her own path.
Most certainly, the artistry is different, but I noticed, too, the difference in approaches. The little girl began at heart of her labyrinth, whereas the Maze Builder wrote "Start" at the outermost edge…just a few footsteps away from the tip bucket I mentioned earlier.
Love.
🙂 One of those quiet moments in life… where big things happen, but you’ll miss them if you blink.
Yup.
Those are so nifty!
They really are! I’m drawn to their physical beauty, however impermanent, and to their historical/spiritual significance.
How very cool! (Both the designs, and the ability of people to be outside dressed like that without freezing to death, lol.)
It was 77 degrees that day, and sunny. And yet…look at the photographers, all bundled up in jeans & hoodies. 🙂
I know the difference between a maze and a labyrinth. HB Labyrinth Man just don’t have the right ring. You don’t want to put people off with words they don’t know. I thought I was pushing the edge using “Ephemermal”.
I enjoy drawing and walking the labyrinths. I have to laugh when I see people running them. No time in our e-mail world to slow down.
I like to think that I am helping add to the dance of life.
Thanks for photos & review.
Namaste, HM Maze Man! I honor the fact that your work encourages people to slow down, and to dance. And to laugh, of course, because there’s always room for more mirth in the world, and the fellowship that comes of sharing our creative efforts.
I’m glad for the opportunity to showcase your art in my little corner of the Internet, and I appreciate your stopping by to say hello. Thanks, too, for your explanatory comments.
Wishing you much joy on your chosen path. 🙂
