This is an unusual sight in the United States where the concept of "freedom of religion" is often interpreted as "freedom from religion." It is a square in the center of downtown Dallas that serves as meditation space. Not just for contemplation, but for actual spiritual healing. Most cities throw up a few fountains and consider it a rejuvenation for the soul. But this place -- through signs, murals, and sculpture -- challenges you to take active steps with your life to become a better person. A short path of has different stations with plaques that make you think about your life. They are arranged in a spiral, and once you've passed all of the stations, you may continue through a giant ring toward the bell tower. The bells toll every day at noon. If that's not enough for you, there is also a spiral-shaped chapel that offers interfaith services. It's nice that Dallas hasn't forgotten that it was founded by deeply religious people who saw their faith as an integral part of their lives. That makes Dallas unique among modern American cities.
