Description
Heart Lines is a combination of two great quotes and Navajo baskets. The quotes go like this: "I am a part of everyone I meet" by Alford Lord Tennyson and "Everyone has something to teach you" by R. Buckminster Fuller. The first one I got off the television and the second one I heard from the man himself. Buckminster Fuller came to the University of Wyoming. I was very excited to hear him. He was speaking in a lobby between Wyo's two largest dorms. In hopes of getting there on time, I had to run across campus from 9th Street to about 16th and to a place I knew very little about. You see, I lived at home in those early college years. So, I came crashing through the door, at the wrong end, where there were no seats. I had no choice but to sit at his feet on the floor. Finding another place would have meant causing a disturbance. Anyway it was wonderful - one of my best memories.
The "heart lines" came from a wonderful exhibit of Navajo baskets at the Phippen Museum in Prescott, AZ. Many of the baskets had animal and plant motifs. Almost all of them had lines which went from the center to the edge. These were what I believe to let the spirit of the basket move out of the basket. Knowledge and grace move from person to person; allowing each of us to become part of each other. We are all one people. Even the rooted, four footed, flying ones and of course the earth keeps teaching us.
I am not a Native American, but thank them for teaching me so very much.
