On a hilltop off Corn Neck Road, the "Sacred Labyrinth" invites visitors to explore their spirituality while finding their way to the center. Since the foliage defining the paths is only knee-high, the spiritual journey here does not include any danger of becoming physically lost.
Dappled sunlight plays upon the "Brothers and Sisters" sculptures at the labyrinth. A journal is kept in a waterproof container here so visitors can record any insights or epiphanies that they experience.
Across the road from the labyrinth, visitors have shaped the beach stones into cairns. Other places I've seen this cairn-building phenomenon are the site of Thoreau's cabin at Walden Pond and the vortex areas in Sedona.

Like the Interpretive Center, most of Block Island was closed or closing around us. When we were the last customers at G. R. Sharkey's at 9:30 on Tuesday night and at the Mohegan at 8:30 (!) on Wednesday night, we decided to move on. So, despite the extraordinary beauty of the island, we caught the ferry Thursday morning and headed for Newport.
