L O W 41 Don’t call it a maze; mazes are cheap puzzles Denny’s has printed on the backside of disposable placemats in order to keep rambunctious toddlers occupied till their pancakes arrive. Labyrinths, however, are like totally profound, being designed as much for strolling the long pointless halls of your mind as they are for stretching your legs. To help you celebrate World Labyrinth Day, the labyrinthians at Labyrinth Network Northwest have compiled a Self-Guid- ed Labyrinth Tour of the Greater Eugene Area. Many are private gardens, but will be open to the public Saturday afternoon. Go get lost.
