Hi! I'm a lurker on the Joni-only Digest. I don't get to read or respond to posts on
a daily basis, but I enjoy keeping up with topics discussed on the list when I can. I
have a question about Joni's recent painting of her garden that she juxtaposed with
her painting of the WTC attack. Some recents posts focused on the "holy book" in the
garden painting and I was wondering if it may be connected to Joni's medicine wheel
concept that she used to set up the stage for PWWAM and which she discussed in her
1988 interview with Bill Flanagan (Secret Places interview). Maybe the NEWS on the
cover of the book refers to North (intellect), East (clarity), West (tactile
intelligence), and South (emotion,heart, and feeling). The symbol on the cover might
be like a compass with its four points. Wasn't there also some connection with the
"four races" of man? Anyway, by spelling "news" she may have had more than one
meaning in mind. What do you think?
