Want peace in the world?

I’ve been writing about peace—and war—a long time, and most recently on the last few blog entries.  The latest is a tribute to a pilot who is flying somewhere right now in defense of freedom. He’s a warrior, for sure, but one in search of peace. He’s asked me to make a drum for him to use as part of his search.

He knows that peace begins inside, and that it’s time to share it with everyone.

So I go inside today—inside the Thunder Valley Drums shop itself, the most peaceful place I know, to record the podcast on a quest for peace. And though the sound quality isn’t the best (sorry, but I used an ancient cassette recorder), I open my heart to discuss a method for helping you find peace inside of yourself. And then, I do something radical, for a podcast at least, and for anyone who has never tried to meditate by listening to drumming. Yes, I drum for 10 minutes in an effort to share the most time-tested method for self discovery ever invented. Shamanic drumming, according to anthropologists, goes back at least 30,000 years!

So give a listen. And keep on drumming. The payoff could well be world peace. And the worst that can happen is to come to peace inside yourself!

Whoa! Talk about radical!

Aho & Namaste, My Friend,
