Just watched a program on the History Channel that premised that the Ark of the Covenant. Although it doesn’t fit with a lot of the descriptions, I do like the idea of the most sacred of artifacts being a drum. I have always thought that the beat of a drum can bring about a religious experience. Maybe it is just the rhythm remind us of our own heartbeat, our life force, or maybe it is just the fact that it brings out the dance in me.

How about we all get this year started by getting together and making some noise? Sounds like a good plan.
