Pow Wow

Went to Starved Rock on Saturday to see the Pow Wow out there. Last year I was shooting video of the event so I didn’t really get to see much. It was good to see Joseph, Bill, Kathy and the others. Something special about drumming. I even got out and danced a little. Virginia did a lot more of that. I think that she wanted to do even more, but her body just wouldn’t let her.

It was a very beautiful day. The temperature was nice and the rain held off until eight. Looked like there were a lot of people there, so I hope that it was a successful event.

Drum of the Covenant

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.
