Drum Freeze at Lakes Park, Florida
Here is the video of the drum freeze/flash mob we did at Lakes Park.
We froze in solidarity with the Glaziers that we want to help stay frozen for the bears and other wildlife that depend on them.
350.org is an organiztion that promotes reduction in carbon footprint. We froze for 35 seconds then made the 0 by sighing the 0 sound. Then we all started to drum again with the sign behind us explaining to all that did not know what was going on.

A Potters Meditation
Like the calm water of a lake, a focused mind absent of distracting waves of thought becomes tranquil, allowing for an in-depth exploration of your true nature.—The Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat
Walking from booth to booth, my eyes focused upon green and blue glaze blending down a coffee cup that made total sense to me. The opening was smaller on the top than the bottom, having more than adequate room for a warm soothing liquid of choice, along with a hand that would need to enter it to make sure it is clean for the next cup. It got my attention enough to lend my eye to all the other creations around it. A light potters bowl for soup or stir fry with two little holes close to the top to rest the ends of chop sticks in, making sure they don’t roll off the bowl when resting. A votive candle holder with leaves cut out and resting halfway on holes left behind, allowing the glow of the candle to shine out the side. Crazy faces with broken pieces of pottery used for teeth.
“What a smart idea,” I said as I held up a bowl with chopsticks.
“I got tired of them falling off,” replied the man who made it.

A Drum Circle for Every Community
The drum circle in Ft Myers at Centennial park , the drum circle at Vanderbilt Beach, the drum circle at Cambier Park are all wonderful circles full of positive community vibes. A drum circle is a place where people can go and find a friendly face, a loving smile. My hope is that every community has a circle they can call home. I will always support every circle. Environmentally (pollution and gas), my hope is that we can walk down the street and just vibe-dance-hoop-drum-play. The world is shifting. It is shifting toward positive vibes and one love for all. Let go of fear and rise up to love.
I love the idea of everyone having a neighborhood drum circle. Just make a meetup.com site and Facebook group with your area and tag it drum, drumming, drum circle. Find a location and just start showing up on a regular basis. Regularity and consistency are the key. That’s what we did when we started the Fort Myers Drum Circle. We just kept showing up, enjoying the vibe weather it was two or twenty. We were together as one heartbeat. It happens organically.
The world is shifting, many people are going back to the drum. Each community can support a circle. You plant the seed and it will grow.

Drum Circles unite!
I am a circle lover. I find I will drive hours to go to a drum circle. Every one has it’s own special vibe, it’s own special rhythmical quality. People come to circles to unite as one, one community of drummers, one heartbeat. You get to feel your being as something bigger than just self. Read more

Alan Cohen: When Friendships Change
Alan Cohen said it beautifully in his August 2011 newsletter:
Since the advent of the Internet and Facebook, I have received many contacts from people I once knew. My best buddies from elementary school, high school, and college have reached out to say hello. I have enjoyed hearing from them, and in most cases we corresponded by email for a bit, or got together for lunch. Yet in nearly all cases, those connections did not last very long. Read more
