Something to say?
My name is LaRonda Zupp, and I am Deaf. Welcome to "The Ear of My Heart."
The title of my blog comes from the opening verse of St. Benedict’s prologue, which tells us to ‘listen carefully and attend with the ear of our hearts.’ St. Benedict was a saint who urged us to listen within the depths of our soul, keeping ourselves attentive to wisdom that comes from the voice within, and inclining our hearts toward deeper understanding.
My blog title is not about “ears” or “hearing” or being able to “hear clearly,” the way hearing people can hear sound. It is about LISTENING with pure loving attention to what people are really communicating. This is what it means to me to listen and blog with ‘the ear of my heart.’

That was a wonderful journey for the Seniors to accomplish the goal. I see a lot of happy faces at end as opposed to the beginning.
Well done job, LaRonda.
Thanks for sharing….

Wonderful… a beautiful explanation of labyrinth, what it means…
Inspiring to see deaf seniors enjoying themselves under the bright blue sky, inhaling the scent of wisteria, etc.

Hi,
Where specifically is the labyrinth? Thanks!

The Labyrinth can be found at:
St. Anne’s Episcopal Church
2791 Driscoll Rd.
Fremont, CA 94539
Check out their website at:

Fremont Oak Gardens (FOG) is located right behind St. Anne’s. FOG is where many Deaf Seniors live.

How fascinating about walking the labyrinth. Soemthing that I have never seen before. I can see the happy faces of the seniors! A wonderful way of doing the mental exercise. I think that people of all ages would enjoy the same experience, too. Will google for “walking the labyrinth” to find out if there is one in Washington, D.C.

For some reason, I always thought labyrinth had walls of bushes lining the paths… guess it does not have to be that way all the time.

It looked like a walk in the afterlife, in their journey, in the peace, away from hectic life and the mumbo-jumbo that follows. Ohm.

As a Deaf person who has been walking labyrinths for over twenty years and has taught workshops on this subject, I was thrilled to see this video and watch Deaf Seniors participating in this experience!
Walking the labyrinth can indeed be a deeply meditative and spiritual experience. I hope more Deaf people will explore this subject, seek out labyrinths in their own areas, and participate in the journey.
