AMAZING RAINBOW STORIES
July 24 l999 was the first block party on our street.
hopeful they would develop the way I was seeing them & had expressed this to fellow artist and friend Julie. I was delighted with the results and wanted to share the good news. Julie created the medicine wheel present in some of the pics. I was examining the RAINBOW photos which were covering the desktop in front of me while calling to be greeted by her answering machine. There was a new message which I hadn't heard before. Her message; "The RAINBOW has arrived." I laughed, It sure has!
sorts of treasures like old spark plugs, disposable pens, shards of glass and plenty of red clay. Needless to say things were not growing well. I amended the soil by digging 3 feet into the ground and replacing the clay with compost & topsoil. Always found plenty of plastic wrappers, broken concrete and pipe. One day while working I found an unusual stone. It was shaped like a heart and appeared to be some form of crystal or glass. I showed the stone to a neighbor who said it looked like Apache tears. Later that day I called Julie who had just visited the Serpent Mound, a Native American burial ground. I told her about the heart stone and she told me about her visit to the Serpent Mound and how a Shawnee woman had given her a book of Native American legends which she the last chapter of the book was something I needed to hear. She read; " The legend of the heart stone...the heart stone was placed in the center of the community with the help of the children so that the community would have heart !" Cool!
slinky in my hands. I had one heart in my right hand and one in my left and contemplated the rainbow colors as I shifted the slinky from hand to hand. I looked at the heart shaped stone I had found and was in wonder of what it all meant. Suddenly the phone rang and someone asked; "Is this heart to heart?" Sorry, wrong number. How interesting that someone would call at the moment I was contemplating the hearts and shifting the slinky from the heart in my right hand to the heart in my left hand... heart to heart ! I discovered that " Heart to Heart " is a pet grooming shop in our city
