I have had my Drum for Many moons. It calls to me now and then and I Love connection with the Heartbeat of the Earth Mother!! Once or twice I have used it (along with a Dear Friend) to Journey. I can hear it CALLING as I type this post!!
I also have a gourd rattle that I beaded the handle and it sits ( in it's Red wrapping) on top of my Drum. One day I was "nudged" to use it as my beater and WoW!! Very Powerful and quite a different Energy.
Thanks for this post as I needed this reminder!! Day to day Living can get chaotic and I can become all "caught up" and not LISTEN...
Ah HO!
Mitakuye Oyasin!!
