MINDFUL DRUMMING MEDITATION
The Power of Rhythm and Sound-----
Drumming is an ancient indigenous technology that uses the twin realities of rhythm and sound to bring about an alignment of body, mind and spirit. As humans our biological make-up is rhythm and wind. Talking is rhythmic. We walk in four-four time. We breathe in and breathe out. Everything about being human is rhythmic. The great drummer, Babatunde Olatunji, said that whenever we are in trouble we are out of… Continue

I would love that sort of dialouge. As funny as it may sound, I was working around the USC area in Los Angeles and had a conversation with a young coed who told me "This the most controversial (presidential) election we have ever had." I of course, did not understand why, except to look at the elephant in the room: This really rich Spoiled Child (which is how the University gets it name, sort of the same I suppose as 'SC in your parts) really had a problem with Obama's racial background. Some things are hard to change, and as you are mentioning we can only pray for their spiritual awakening, as very little can be done otherwise for others who want to continue to hold on to bigotry, fear, and racial hatred. The real challenge is how the individual lives his/her life. I've been typed-casted for a long time, and have suffered professionally by my background, but I still march on. I was really relieved to leave a job in Atlanta, because that cultural mesh was entirely different from that which I was raised in.
Let hope that Obama doesn't get shot, and will continue to march forward with what I think is a reasoned and responsible approach to the fiscal and cultural healing that we need it this country.
Let me know if you get in touch with your friends.
Best,
Mike
"I am not really proud of this region I was born in and now live in. I consider the "tea baggers" to mostly be racists, as most of our taxes have been reduced. I think many Southern religious and political lleaders teach hate in the name of love. Next to being a yankee or a black, a liberal like me is the third worst classification according to my misled fellow Southerners.
I consider myself a Jimmy Carter/MLK Jr. type of Southerner, and I am proud of them. By the way, I voted for Obama, as far and away, he is the smartest and wisest of all the politicians I have ever observed. Yet, according to most family members and colleagues and neighbors down here, he is the worst thing ever to happen to the U.S.A. - they can't get past their limbic brain (snake or alligator) instinctual fear. And yet I have to love them (they consider liberals like me their enemy - I see them as just being fearful), and pray for their awakening. I would enjoy a racial dialogue, if you are interested. I am mentioned in a book called Beyond Fear by Aeeshah Ababio-Clottey and her husband Kokomon Clottey. I have seen Kokomon's name on this website and I am going to copy this and see if I can get him and Aeeshah interested in dialoguiing about their "Twelve Spiritual Keys to Racial Healing" which is the subtitle to their wonderful book. in gratitude, Ron
