*Herkimer Diamonds*

*Herkimer Diamonds are beautiful double-terminated quartz crystals found in Herkimer, New York. Incredibly, these phenomenal gemstones are close to five hundred million years old. The crystals are magnificent works of nature, found in the rock, having a diamond – like geometrical shape.  Thus, the name recognition of “Herkimer Diamonds”.  Herkimers rival true diamonds. A true diamond found in the rough is exactly that, a rough appearing glass – like stone. The true diamond must be painstakingly cut by man to give it smooth faces and a geometrical shape.

Rock Water

There are a great number of holy wells elsewhere and a local map will often mark the sites. On seeing a well it may at once be apparent if it is either disturbed, polluted or interfered with. Often they are lost in a field but then there can be the problem of cattle or sheep or chemicals from farming which seep into the water table. It is important to find one that still has pure water and that will probably mean going to high ground. Common sensitivity will make a good choice.

The Lovers by Charly

They come two in one
One melting of two lights
Dark to light to one
Moon to Sun, Mother-to-Father
They come full force as one
They come fire to water
World unspoken to a shouting force
Tornado manifesting the unseen
Face of wax melting to steel
Iron fist hiding velvet
Soft to hard, water to rock
Earth to wind, Love to Hate
One equal power to many sides
Twisting to one fate, destiny
Love the great force unseen
Invisible glue of all matter
Come and going into being
From nowhere to the seen
From evesight to oblivion
Tunnel without light beckoning
I call forth the fire
I call forth the water
I call forth the visible
I call forth the unseen
One Power. One Force. One Love
Falling thru Time
Time mirror of illusion.

Dudugera

by Dr Anthony E. Smart

 
The leg child who became the sun, in Papuan mythology. One day a woman who was in a garden near the ocean, seeing a great fish playing in the surf, walked out into the water and played with it. Some time later the woman’s leg, against which the fish had rubbed, began to swell and become painful, until at last she had her father make a cut in the swelling, out of which popped a baby. The child, called Dudgera, grew up in the village, but his aggressiveness made him unpopular with the other boys. Fearing for his safety, the woman brought her son to the huge fish, who seized Dudugera in his mouth, and swam away. Before departing with his father though, Dudugera warned his mother and her relatives to take refuge behind a great rock, as he was about to become the sun.
