Medicine
Wheel
is a painting inspired by the reading of Seven Arrows
by Hyemeyohsts Storm. It is based upon a small colored pencil
and ink drawing I did many years ago that included text from
the book. This much larger painting does not include the text
(shown below). It has been finished with a white mat and frosted
silver frame.
".
. . all things within this Universe Wheel know of their Harmony
with every other thing, and know how to 'Give-Away' one to
the other, except man. Of all the Universe's creatures, it
is we alone who do not begin our lives with knowledge of this
great Harmony . . . our determining spirit can be made whole
only through the learning of our Harmony with all our brothers
and sisters, and with all the other spirits of the Universe.
To do this we must learn to seek and to perceive. We must
do this to find our place within the Medicine Wheel. To determine
this place we must learn to 'Give-Away.'" ~ excerpt from
Seven Arrows by Hyemeyohsts Storm
