In native traditions, it is believed that the drum is a living thing. The spirit of the animal and the tree of which the drum is made both live on in the drum. Moreover, our drums are strung with prayers for their rebirth and
transformation.When a drum finds its partner, it is a lifelong relationship.

This month, in celebration of my moon; to honor those we have lost and to gain inspiration and strength..
I have thought long and hard about this. It is time for us to come together; it is time for us to start the healing process.
Winter has been long and hard. We have lost many, especially here in southeastern New England. We face turbulent,
painful times. As I slowly start to drum again, as I slowly start to feel the strength of my Mother again.
