Greetings One and ALL!
In Regards To: The Paralounge Southeastern Regional Drum Gathering to be
held on 8+9AUG2K3, in Live Oak, FL, USA.
We at "Drumming Peace," as I call our consensual (pro sensual, really
<grin>) drum circle here in the Gainesville, FL, area, discussed the
Gathering and conflict on the date August 9th is the day on which our
circle is to be held.
As per our consensual agreement amongst the folks here, I hereby publicly
resolve this issue by cancelling our humble circle and encouraging our
esteemed membership and "all our relations" to also put their energy behind
this "Righteous & NON-heinous" Drum Gathering, in Live Oak, and PUSH HARD
<grin>.
Gathering info: <http://www.paralounge.net/>
Directions: <http://www.musicliveshere.com/>
All things being equal (which they seldom are), JAH Willing, I look forward
to meeting you there, and this time I fully intend to go (three's the
charm), the weather, cargo space and my energy level will dictate what
drums I have the honor to schlep forward <big grin of anticipation>.
I hope this Helps!
Thanks for Ev'ryt'ing!
Drumming Peace, R

"When the Jew, the Christian, the Moslem, the Hindu and the Buddhist open
themselves in prayer, in meditation, to the transcendent mystery, going
beyond the word, beyond thought, simply opening themselves to the light, to
the truth, to reality, then the meeting takes place. That is where humanity
will be united. Only through transcendence can we find Unity."
- Bede Griffiths quoted in The Other Half of My Soul compiled by Beatrice
Bruteau
"Only the Unity of all can bring the well-being of all."

It balances both positive and negative energies
in the individual and ultimately in the community.
Drumming heals."
