The Labyrinth @ The Buddhist Retreat Centre in Ixopo, KZN, South Africa
For millennia the labyrinth has been used by peoples across the world much like a mandala. Labyrinths as mandalas have been used as spiritual journeys through the use of its sacred circle to the center within. This Sacred Geometry has been a part of the Aboriginal culture in Australia; the Hopi Tribe in America; in Cornwall, England the design was etched as a rock carving, and in European Cathedrals just to give a few examples. The oldest labyrinth found was in Crete.
There are different types of labyrinths, none of which are mazes even though the maze is part of the labyrinth family. There is never an obstruction from your end goal to the center in a labyrinth like you find in a maze. The Classical labyrinth is based on a pattern originally found on a clay tablet in Pylos, Greece that dates back to 1200 BCE and constructed with a seed pattern. The Medieval labyrinth has four quadrants that use the Sacred Geometry in its construction. This type is usually found on the floor of a European church.
Each type represents our path through life and is an ancient symbol showing us a certain wholeness that can be achieved. The labyrinth will take us to our own center as we circle inwards along the path to its center. There are certain energies that can be felt building up within the body as a person gets closer to that center when the labyrinth is used as a mandala. Our egos are pushed aside in order to meditate and inhale our god(s) and the power that god(s) reign upon us as we try to discover where we are in our relationship to each other, the Earth, our universe and our god(s).

There is a lovely road that runs from Ixopo into the hills. These hills are grass-covered and rolling, and they are lovely beyond any singing of it. . Contributed by Bheki

Steam Safari Sampler
Steam Safari
Over many years, South Africa established an enviable reputation with steam enthusiasts. Steam usage continued until a relatively late stage, and trains were operated on routes that often ran through attractive scenery. Add to this widespread industrial steam operation, coupled with a pleasant climate and management that was sympathetic to enthusiasts, and it is easy to see the attraction.
By 2010, when this programme was made, the situation was not so good. Many locomotives had been mothballed with a view to preservation, but they were generally stored outdoors, were steadily rusting away and were prey to metal thieves, with negligible chance of restoration. Moreover, Transnet, the state-owned infrastructure company, seemed ever less willing to countenance the operation of steam trains on the national rail system.
Against this rather depressing backdrop it is good to note that South Africa still has much to offer the enthusiast, and this programme contains striking steam footage taken at many locations, including Friends of the Rail in Pretoria and Reefsteamers in Johannesburg. Trains were filmed on the open line at Creighton and at nearby Ixopo in Kwazulu Natal, and we also traverse the narrow gauge Port Elizabeth system westwards as far as Loerie behind an NG15. Some archive footage of how things “used to be” has also been included
A key development in recent years has been the growth of the Sandstone Heritage Trust near Fouriesburg in the Free State as a preservation centre. The Trust has acquired a vast collection and is steadily building up a fleet of working steam locos. A picturesque 26 kilometre “mainline” for the narrow-gauge items offers unrivalled photographic opportunities, and this on its own provides justification for a visit to South Africa.
