The Song Of The Rainbow Labyrinth


After writing my journal and breakfast and a nap, I walk up the lane each day singing 
The Song Of The Rainbow Labyrinth.
Each day the song changes subtly as I come to understand her more clearly. Today it became obvious that vocal beings live in the sky and those who listen and remember are ocean beings. I suspect they are a tad interchangeable? Emerald beings have been Love, breath, Healing and breathing. Today they are healing loving kindness. Ruby beings have been core beings. Today they are both our heart and the heart of the Earth, both dancing and centred.
I then feed my animal family and the local pair of red kites before I paint a rainbow labyrinth.
Each rainbow labyrinth is different. Today i was concentrating on showing the relationship between turquoise and blue. I sat a looked for a while when I had finished. I was in awe of the colour and energy, aware of the boundaried green.


The Song Of The Rainbow Labyrinth

We are violet beings.
We are mysterious beings.
We are beings who know.
We are divine.

We are indigo beings.
We are night beings.
We are beings who see.
We are dreaming.

We are blue beings.
We are sky beings.
We are vocal beings.
We are sound.


We are turquoise beings.
We are Ocean beings.
We are beings who listen.
We are memory.

We are emerald beings.

We are forest beings.
We are beings who breathe.
We are healing, loving, kindness.


We are yellow beings.
We are rock beings.
We are bone beings.
We are strong.

We are amber beings.
We are magma beings.
We are blood beings.
We are art.

We are ruby beings. 
We are heart beings. 
We are dancing beings. 
We are centred.

We are Earth beings.
We are rainbow beings.
We are rainbow labyrinth beings.
We are peace.

It seems that painting rainbow labyrinths is becoming addictive.


I am loving the vivid inks I acquired last week



and. after what seems like years of trying to keep my labyrinths neat and symmetrical, I am loving the way I cannot control these water colour inks and how different each one is. Long before I had the dream, my friend Ann gave me a little portable pallet of watercolours and I would play for hours with the colours of the rainbow fading into each other in concentric circles. From these meditation paintings, I am beginning to think that painting in labyrinth walls interferes with allowing the colours to fade into each other.... maybe following the path of the labyrinth was never meant to be this easy?




Another thing that does not seem to want to be controlled is the story. For some reason, I thought it was complete but yesterday it became clear that it was just the beginning of a much longer set of adventures and then today when I went back to my long hand original version, I found a sentence which proves this was what was planned all along. Now all I need to do is write it.....

This afternoon I managed to type up the story of the rainbow labyrinth, provisionally titled "The Trouble With Trouble". Not quite sure what to do with it now? I suppose all I have to do now is finish eight paintings, one of each colour of my eight layered rainbow labyrinth, and see what happens next?
I do love the process of writing, of editing as I type, of reading the story out loud to myself and hoping that other people will share my taste and point of view.... 

There are times when I am not happy with my creations but when I am there is a small voice in my ear telling me not to show it, not to be big headed...

If I am not allowed to like and enjoy my creativity then what is the point?
