There is another man we can not forget a dirty rainbow hippy who prays 24/7 too and carries his Bible everywhere. He lives in a van with his wife they travel with rainbow people. This man plays guitar and sings and he is better than any recording you have ever heard and when he gets ready to play the heavens truly open up to hear

 

Oh, Michael—that’s a radiant soul you’ve conjured. He’s the kind of character who feels like he wandered out of a parable and into a folk song. Let’s sketch him into the mythic tapestry alongside Elias Thorne, not as contrast but as harmony. Two men of prayer—one cloaked in reverence, the other wrapped in patchwork and praise.

🌈 The Rainbow Minstrel

• Name (working title): Jubal Riversong — a nod to the biblical Jubal, father of all who play stringed instruments.
• Appearance: Dusty boots, sun-faded bandana, wild beard streaked with ash and joy. His van is painted with swirling galaxies, scripture verses, and rainbow spirals. His wife, radiant and grounded, is his anchor and co-pilot.
• Lifestyle: They travel with the Rainbow People—nomadic, spiritual seekers who gather in forests and deserts to pray, sing, and share. Jubal’s Bible is worn and marked with tears and laughter. He reads it aloud like it’s a love letter.
• Prayer: Constant. Not just words—his life is prayer. Every strum, every sunrise, every shared meal is communion. He prays while fixing a tire, while hugging a stranger, while tuning his guitar.
• Music: When Jubal plays, the veil thins. Birds hush. Wind stills. People weep. His voice carries the ache of prophets and the joy of angels. It’s not performance—it’s invocation. Heaven listens.
• Role in the Story: He appears when the world feels too heavy. He sings truth into broken places. Maybe he and Elias meet once—two men of prayer, one cloaked in solemnity, the other in song. And the sky itself bends to listen.

You’ve just added color to the sacred. Elias is the pillar. Jubal is the flame. Together, they remind us that holiness wears many robes—some stitched from scripture, some from tie-dye and road dust.

Would you like to explore how these two might cross paths in your narrative? Maybe a moment where Elias is silent, and Jubal sings what Elias cannot say.

 

yes they are total opposite men one as pure as he can be and proper and wise while our hippy friend lives in the middle of craziness

 

That contrast is electric, Michael. You’ve set up a divine polarity—like Moses and David, or Elijah and John the Baptist. One walks in wisdom and order, the other dances in chaos and fire. And yet, both are vessels of heaven.

Let’s sketch their dynamic a bit deeper:

⚖️ Elias Thorne vs. Jubal Riversong — Sacred Opposites

Attribute Elias Thorne 🕊️ Jubal Riversong 🌈 Vibe Stoic, reverent, composed Wild, radiant, unpredictable Prayer Style Kneels in silence, speaks with precision Sings, shouts, weeps, prays mid-guitar solo Appearance Clean robes, trimmed beard, eyes like ancient wells Tie-dye shirt, tangled hair, eyes like lightning storms Wisdom Ancient texts, prophetic dreams Street parables, spontaneous insight Home A quiet cabin or sacred grove A van painted with stars and scripture Role in Story Anchor of truth, guardian of sacred law Catalyst of joy, breaker of chains Heaven’s Response Answers come like thunder after stillness Answers come like rainbows after storms

---

Imagine a scene where Elias is delivering a solemn warning to a crowd, and Jubal interrupts—not to disrespect, but to sing the same truth in a way the broken can hear. Elias frowns, then smiles. He knows: the message is reaching hearts Elias alone could never touch.

Or maybe they meet in a moment of crisis. Elias is praying for clarity. Jubal walks up, strumming, and sings a line that unlocks the answer Elias was waiting for. No explanation. Just divine timing.

They’re not rivals. They’re resonant. Heaven speaks through both—one like a bell, the other like a drum.

Want to explore a moment where they first meet? Maybe under a stormy sky, or at a gathering where prophecy and music collide.

 

Oh, we absolutely will, Michael. This is the kind of story that doesn’t just entertain—it awakens. Elias and Jubal are like twin flames from opposite ends of the sacred spectrum, and when they collide, the narrative won’t just shimmer—it’ll sing.

I can already see the arc forming:

• A gathering in the wilderness, where prophecy and music stir the air
• A moment of crisis where Elias’s solemn prayer meets Jubal’s wild praise
• A final scene where both men, changed by each other, stand side by side—one with hands folded, the other with guitar raised—and the heavens respond in full chorus

And through it all, your voice guiding the reader like a lantern through myth and memory.

When you're ready, we can start mapping chapters, sketching scenes, or even drafting dialogue. Or if you’d rather let it simmer and dream a bit longer, I’m here to catch whatever rises next.

This story’s going to leave a mark.

 

his van is very poor him and his wife make a living from picking marijuana that grows wild in Nebraska and they sell a few mushrooms they find to

 

That detail adds a raw, earthy layer to Jubal Riversong’s character—it roots him in the margins, where beauty and survival intertwine. He and his wife aren’t just wanderers; they’re foragers of forgotten abundance, living off what the land offers and what society overlooks. Their van may be falling apart, but it hums with spirit and song.

Let’s flesh this out a bit more:

🚐 Jubal Riversong’s Vanlife and Livelihood

• The Van: Rusted edges, patched windows, a roof covered in prayer flags and solar panels barely hanging on. Inside: a guitar, a Bible, a few jars of dried herbs and mushrooms, and a mattress that smells like cedar and campfire.

• Their Work:

  • They harvest wild marijuana in the backwoods of Nebraska—not for profit, but for barter and survival. It’s part of their rhythm, like picking berries or gathering firewood.
  • They find mushrooms too—some medicinal, some mystical. They sell them gently, never pushing, always with reverence.
  • Their income is meager, but their joy is rich. They live on grace, grit, and the generosity of strangers.

• Their Philosophy:

  • “The Lord provides,” Jubal says, strumming under a cottonwood tree.
  • His wife, serene and sharp-eyed, believes the earth sings when treated with respect.
  • They see their lifestyle not as rebellion, but as return—to Eden, to simplicity, to the wild mercy of creation.

This makes Jubal a kind of prophet-in-the-wilderness—living outside the system, yet deeply in tune with the divine. His songs aren’t just beautiful—they’re earned. And when he plays, it’s as if heaven says, “Yes, even here. Even now.”

Would you like to sketch a scene where Elias and Jubal first meet? Maybe Elias is wary at first, sensing disorder—until Jubal plays, and the stars respond. Or maybe they cross paths during a storm, and each man offers shelter in his own way.
