While Randy was waiting for Pamela to return from her outdoor
Labyrinth construction work, as part of a Labyrinth Enterprises crew,
Randy completed the "Green" version of 2 Hearts without the
embedded text is available for divorce, parting, or separation rituals.
Contact Randy for details on sale ($400) or rental opportunities.
So, how did the labyrinth go from green to red?
The green 2-Hearts is intended for a separation or divorce ritual. Randy
painted this labyrinth while Pamela was working for Robert Ferre and
Labyrinth Enterprises. Pamela was insistent that both she and Randy would
have a (physical) hand in painting the red-version of 2-Hearts. Since both of
us were painting that labyrinth, so one was left to take pictures.
Either of these labyrinths are available for purchase or rent.

After looking at several wedding labyrinth designs (Thank You,
Robert for your Twin Hearts suggestion), we had a creative
problem-solving opportunity (I REALLY don't like using the
word, problem!), in that the church we are to be married does
not have the space within the sanctuary to facilitate a labyrinth.
After considering other options (using the Parish Hall for the
wedding ceremony, or even scrapping the idea of
incorporating a labyrinth), I allowed Spirit to move through me,
as I do with all other labyrinth designs.
With a pad of paper, a bunch of sharpened pencils, a even
bigger eraser, child colored chalk, and a 9' X 12' painters tarp,
Pamela and I created, "2 Hearts".
Idaho Canvas prepared the material (13oz Sunforger Natural)
in an 8' octagon (we also ordered one in 10oz dyed white
cotton duck) and are currently working on releasing the
labyrinth from the canvas; just as an artist brings out a picture
from a canvas on an easel.
Embedded within the lines will be:
- John 15: 12-13. Love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this.
- Ruth 1:16. Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go,
and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.
- James Dillet Freeman's, Blessing For A Marriage.
May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should bring, and may
life grant you also patience, tolerance, and understanding.
May you always need one another - not so much to fill your emptiness as to help you to
know your fullness. A mountain needs a valley to be complete; the valley does not make the
mountain less, but more; and the valley is more a valley because it has a mountain towering
over it. So let it be with you and you.
May you need one another, but not out of weakness.
May you want one another, but not out of lack.
May you entice one another, but not compel one another.
May you embrace one another, but not encircle one another.
May you succeed in all important ways with one another, and not fall in the little graces.
May you look for things to praise, often say, "I love you!" and take no notice of small faults.
If you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope to have the good sense
enough to take the first step back.
May you enter into the mystery which is the awareness of one another's presence - no more
physical than spiritual, warm and near when you are side by side, and warm and near when
you are in separate rooms or even distant cities.
May you have happiness, and may you find it in making one another happy.
May you have love, and may you find it loving one another.
- Kahil Gibran, On Marriage
memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens
dance between you.
heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love; let it rather be a moving sea between the
shores of your soul. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of
your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let
each of one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone, even though they quiver
with the same music.
And give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can
contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together. For the pillars of the
temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
