is a well written article about a concept I admire.

Here is another which includes information about Japanese tea ceremony: http://www.art.unt.edu/ntieva/artcurr/asian/wabisabi.html

I felt like walking the labyrinth when we came back from dinner on July 14. I put tea lights in canning jars at each turn. I didn't want to wait to get enough actual votive holders to walk in the dark and I had a basket of jelly/pickle jars in the shed.

I was one jar short. I dug around in the recycling bin on the deck and found a pad thai sauce jar that was a good size and used it.

The jars have been in the labyrinth since, waiting to be used another night.

The pad thai jar tickles me when I pass it.
