Rosanna and ChinookÆs Travels in the Dreamtime

Images By: Stephen Harper

In a country full of the golden sun there lived a wild gypsy girl, her name was Rosanna. She lived with her Grandmother who loved her dearly, and yet she was lonely. She had no other children to share her wild spirit with. One day, her Grandmother who knew of these things, gave her a ring. The ring was a crystal clear blue diamond.

In this world there lived a boy called Chinook who also lived with his Grandmother and was very lonely. He was a very gentle boy and yet there were no other children to share his gentleness with. The Grandmother knew this as Grandmothers always know and gave Chinook a ring of amber, full of the colour of the golden sun.

Chinook looked into the ring and the golden sun jumped into his eyes and he could clearly see the land of warm breezes and golden days.

The mystical unicorn and the two children passed through many lands some they recognised from their own reality, others seemed to them to come from the realms of fantasy. There were crystal fountains, trees, flowers and plants with colours so brilliant they seemed to shimmer in a haze of light. The animals were equal with the people and strangely there seemed no need of language. There was music in plenty, in fact the very air seemed filled with it. As they passed the people crowded round them, touching them with soft stroking fingers welcoming them to the world of the dreamers. We need you they said, in your dreams, you can visit many places and each time you will find someone who needs help. Sometimes it is dangerous so you will need courage but you will have each other and the Unicorn will always return to take you home.
