Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
I listened to a fascinating woman speak on the radio yesterday. Siraj Holsworth(sp?)She is a Seneca Iroquois from the East Coast of America. She is the Keeper of the "grandmother drum" and is touring around Australia with it at the moment. It is 7 feet in diameter, encrusted with 200 clear and rose quartz crystals.
She said the drum is the heartbeat, she uses it to unify and celebrate. We are diverse, but the truth is we are all one people, who share a common heartbeat.
This weekend she will be at the Lismore City Hall to perform a ceremony for a Bundjalung( aboriginal) elder who died recently, a woman who had devoted her life to reconciliation. I would love to be there, but can't...
but all is not lost.
Next weekend the Australian Allgirl's Surfing contest will be held in my hometown( pray for good waves). My neice and a few friends are competing, so I was going up there to cheer them on. Luckily the Grandmother Drum will also be there that weekend They are having a "keepers of the flame- women's business" meeting there also. I'll get to hear the drum...I hope.
I give thanks for that alignment.
It's all about drums
