GALLERY UPDATE

Dave's medicine wheel is evolving. Over the past weekend there was a special spontaneous ceremony held around the wheel. People who were visiting the Gallery and a few of the women from the Sacred Circle of Women gathered around the Wheel and the Sacred Circle women sang, "Surely" for everyone. This was spiritually uplifting , as well as, very emotional for me. After the song, Dave was asked to play our large Tibetan bowl. He walked the circle stopping behind each person to strike the bowl and send out it's vibration.

At the end of this impromptu ceremony we were told that a red tailed hawk appeared over the circle.

Dave and I are ever so blessed to be surrounded by beautiful, people.

Things are always evolving around here. Dave and his brother, Marc, have been laboring over a new walkway to our home. I took these pictures a few minutes ago. I actually caught them working. Yesterday, I found them standing in front of the stairway " Brainstorming."

Right now it is a bit difficult to appreciate what they are doing. I can visualize what it will look like in my mind's eye and I know it will be very cool and inviting when it is finished. Last week the process mainly producing mud in and around the driveway. I asked them if they were having fun making mud pies.

There is just one more thing that I would like to show you. These are Dave's new thing for sale in the Gallery. They are selenite rods that Dave has made into what he calls Beams of "Light".

He sold several over the weekend and has a few more to take to the shows.

They look much nicer than what the picture shows. The Gallery will be closed until November.

Don't forget to come see us at the Cortland Psychic Fair and Holistic Living Expo.

Many blessings,

Lee

THE TURKEY TROT

Dave and I have been lucky enough to have several new families join us on our property. Here is momma turkey and her little poults walking across the back wooded area of our yard. When we first saw her about 3 weeks ago it appeared that she had 12 babies. I have been trying to get her picture for days and finally had the opportunity this afternoon. I was pruning my rose tree when I heard her cluck, cluck, cluck. There she was when I looked up. Earlier I counted 5 poults. In these pictures I can only see 4. I noticed if you click on the pictures it will make them larger. They are not the best and have movement in them due to trying to get closeups while they were moving.She certainly is in a hurry when she sees us. We saw her twice today. She must have a routine with them as she teaches them to forage. She is usually headed East when we see her. I think she uses an alternate route when she heads the other way, as I have yet to see her going in any other direction but East.

I have read that a turkey's head will change color when it is startled or excited. Guess she was OK with me. I didn't see any color change.
A few days ago when they were all headed up the driveway and behind the barn I ran to get the camera. I went out along the side of the barn to see if I could find her. The grass is pretty thick back there. As I crouched down I noticed some movement. Wow ! It was a deer. What a neat gift to get that close. Every year we have a deer family here. Usually we see the doe and her two fawns. They are like little puppies. Haven't seen them since earlier in the Summer, though.
For a number of years we have had goshawks that return here to nest. There have been Red Tails here over the years, too. (Part of the reason for the Two Hawks name.) The Goshawks nest up back in our pines. You can tell when the young are learning to fly. They do a lot of crying for the first few weeks. Generally, there are 2 young ones. They help to keep the squirrel population down. The red squirrels that live here think that they own the place. They chatter at everything and everybody. There have been times that we have been standing in the driveway talking to people and the little snots have actually thrown green pine cones at us. No joke !
Another nuisance are the Japanese Beetles. They are after my rose tree. That is what I was up to when the hen and her poults strolled by.

And I am still not sure what happened to my blueberries. Something or somebody ate every last one.


Hope you are enjoying the Summer.
Joyfully,
Lee

A BEAUTIFUL, SUMMER WEEKEND

It was a perfect weekend here at the Gallery. Lots of people came out and many stones found their rightful homes.

We are always amazed to see where the crystals will go. Many go to the homes that we foresee and then there are the surprises that are unexpectedly divine.
Y E S !!
Dave and I are truly blessed to be participants in this wonderful journey that affects so many. We are truly grateful to all of you who come here and make the choices that you do that in turn, affect many more lives.
From us : Namaste

Sunday, it was our honor to be visited by a group of beautiful women from the “Sacred Circle". As one of the ladies put it, “ What a great way to spend a beautiful, Summer, Sunday !” Dave and I agree. We were the recipients of the most gracious song performed by the Sacred Circle women . The shop and the stones were cleansed by their harmonious voices. No need to smudge for a bit. Thanks, ladies !



Here they are in the shop holding Selenite candles. Fantastic white light energy and the group of women that visited us from the “Sacred Circle”.


Occasionally, people plan field trips to see us. We welcome anyone else that would like to do so. Just call or email ahead to let us know you have that idea in mind.

Until next time………….The light in me, honors the light in you.

ELESTIAL QUARTZ

These Elestial Quartz Crystals are powerful, powerful crystals that have come to us at this time to assist us on the physical plane as we progress as beings of Light.
These crystals have natural terminations over the entire body of the crystal. They may also be called Skeletal or Jacare' Crystals. To view a larger picture of any of these crystals, just double click on that picture.

The next two pictures are one Elestial. I wanted you to see both sides. This one is very unusual. One side is the Elestial formation and the other has more of a Barnacle Quartz type appearance.





We have many more of these available in the Gallery. For those unfamiliar with us you can see our website at: www.twohawksgallery.com

Here is a huge spiky cluster. The points are very clear and sharp. The points are long slender laser crystals all formed together in one nice cluster.


Then finally, I will throw in the group shot. A couple smaller amethyst cathedrals, some nice clear cathedral quartz, an Ancient Healer or 2 and an Elestial.


Hope to see you all real soon !
Blessings,
Lee

TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN !

I guess I didn't realize how busy we have been until I looked at the date of my last post.
We have been working around the home gardening, home repairs, a new roof and repairs to the deck. And Dave says he is going to paint the exterior of the house.

In between time, we have been traveling with the business. We have had several out of state shows and will be doing a few more before year end. Check out the amethyst cathedrals we displayed for sale and those crystal balls. Dave has them all priced unbelievably low. If you have been desiring these, now is the time to come out and grab them up.


Prep work and packing for these shows can take at least a week. Set up time for our last show was 8 hours. Tear down was a breeze with the help of the kids. Thankfully.


We enjoy our downtime and appreciate that time when we get it. Dave took this picture early one morning last week. We were out walking with the dogs. We have been dog sitting our sons' dogs, so we have had an extra 1 or 2 to walk. All of our grandchildren are of the 4 legged variety with stumpy little tails.
Dave always seems to capture some interesting things with the camera. Besides the rays of sun beaming through the trees, there is something colorful in the foreground. In the original picture it looks like there is a small greenish cross.

It is lunchtime. I have been told. Time to feed the guys. Dave has been lucky enough to hire his brother to get some of the repair work done. It is good, but as some of you know, Dave is a talker. There are times that he does more jabbering than work.
Cheerfully,
Lee

LISTEN TO CHILDREN

If you read the entire posting, you will see why I have titled this, " Listen to Children".

We recently returned from the Buffalo, NY area after completing back to back shows there. One show was the geological society rock show and the other was a holistic expo. We met with thousands of people over those two weekends and a lot of information was exchanged. There is one story in particular that I feel would be interesting to share with you because it involved a young girl.

When Dave and I were busy at the Earth Spirit Expo a young girl, maybe about 6 or 7 years old, approached Dave. She said that she looked at everything on our tables and this crystal was the one that spoke to her the loudest. She held a rough piece of rose quartz in the palms of her small hands as she presented the stone up for Dave to see. It was very busy in the booth at the time and Dave was hurrying to wait on customers. He did, however, stop and listen. The little girl said that she really liked the stone but she had a problem. Dave inquired to see what kind of problem. She told him that she did not have the money to purchase the stone and then said to him, “ What can I do?” Dave was taken by how sincere she was, and he liked that such a small one would offer to barter. He decided to just give her the stone and he told her, “ I will give you the crystal if you promise to take care of it.” He liked the way that she presented herself and he decided that the whole gesture was more meaningful then the few dollars he could have collected from selling her the rose quartz. She agreed to take care of the stone and thanked him.

By now I am aware of this presence in our booth and the two of us watch her leave and walk into another booth where her mother was set up as a vendor/healer. The experience did not end there. A short time later she returned and presented Dave with a book. She looked up at Dave and said, “ Thank you very much for the stone. Here is a book that I want to give to you.” Dave took the book and thanked her and as she started to walk away, she stopped, turned around and said, “ Take good care of the book!”

Later on Dave and I looked at the book. It is called Illuminated Prayers by Marianne Williamson. The book is composed of a number of short prayers that are filled with inspiration and spiritual wisdom. I would like to share one with you. It is the one that is found on the back of the book’s dust cover. It is:

Dear God,
As I wake up this morning, may Your spirit come upon me.
May my mind receive Your emanations, my soul receive Your blessing,
and my heart receive Your love. May all those I meet or even
think of on this day feel better for it. May I contribute peace.
May I serve Your purposes with all I say and do, today and always.
Please show me how.
Amen


Having shared this experience with you, reminds me about another young person. That person is Andrew and here is that story for those of you who haven't heard it.



Mother Earth Sphere, Andrew’s Story

In 2003 we were introduced to a new find ( for us ), the Mother Earth Spheres. When I was seeking information from the Sphere, I heard that this stone will go to those who need it and that the people that obtain it will know what it is for and what to do with it. Generally, the minerals that we sell come with a description of the mineral and the metaphysical properties that they possess. In this instance, the Mother Earth Sphere was telling me that those who need it will seek it out and will know how to use it.

My husband, Dave, is a Reiki Master Teacher and has been blessed with the gift of working with young children. Some of which have special needs or may be gifted beyond their natural years. Several years ago, Andrew, a marvelous 7 year old boy came to visit Dave. Dave did not have a regimen for Andrew to follow, but instead let Andrew take the lead. Pretty soon Andrew discovered the 83 pound Mother Earth Sphere. He placed it in the center of our healing room and then began placing other minerals in a circle around the Sphere. At least 8 rows of different minerals were arranged around the circumference of the Mother Earth Sphere. Each stone was selected and strategically placed by Andrew. The process took about 2 hours and when he finished he asked Dave to listen. Andrew tapped the Sphere with the zipper of his sweatshirt. He said, “ Did you hear that?” Dave was a bit surprised when Andrew tapped the Sphere and wasn’t prepared to hear anything. He told Andrew, “ No, I’m sorry. I didn’t hear anything.” So Andrew tapped the huge Sphere again. This time Dave heard the faint ring as the Sphere sent out a vibration when Andrew tapped it. “ Ahh, yes,” Dave replied, “ I did hear it!”
Then to this Andrew exclaimed, “ Good. This is for the healing of all mankind. “

How blessed we were to be in the presence of this old soul, a 7 year old named Andrew. With this affirmation, we were firm believers that the Mother Earth Stones would fall into the hands of those that would need and use them. Since that time, many have been placed in areas of the Earth for healing.

I apologize that the picture above is not clearer. It is the actual grid that Andrew created back then.

Thanks for reading this post. If you have gotten this far you will understand why Dave and I are firm believers that it is important to, “ Listen to Children ”.

Scroll down to my March 1, 2009 posting if you would like to see what the Mother Earth Spheres look like.

Still listening,
Lee
