| A Week of Twos Posted: September 25, 2006 Last week, we had a songkeeper and drum maker stay with us for two days. He made two drums for us--one a pow-wow drum, and the other, a Celtic one. My friend, Jacob, looked up in the sky and saw a meeting of two hawks. One from the south, the other from the north. They swirled and danced around each other: making love; fighting; or both. Do they do this every time the season changes? Have hawks done this for thousands of years? We were driving into town. We saw two Buddhist monks hanging up their saffron robes to dry on the clothesline. A meeting of East and West. Marsha and I went walking. We went up an arroyo that we've never taken. It turned up to a second one and then emptied into dirt road. A neighbor in the area had two buffalo in a pen. They stood there as ghosts from the spirit of the west. -David

how
strange...last week was a week of twos for me also...a week of two
chickens - hens or roosters i do not know. i was leaving our
subdivision, a golf course community in rural madison county and
noticed some animals near the entrance. we see dogs or cats of
course...the heron that fishes the golf course ponds...and the
occasional deer...but here (quite out of place) were two very plump
chickens! one red, one white. i saw them for two days in a row.
then they were gone - presumably...hopefully... back to their owner.
so, what are we
to make of twos?
i do ask and send
you this observance in all sincerity, as at the time of its
occurring i took it as some sort of sign to ponder.
blessings,
