Nature Drumming

Posted on May 3, 2009November 27, 2009 by BritMumInNZ

Whilst on Tahunanui Beach on holiday, Sophie found some driftwood sticks and a log which she drummed away on for a while. Joining her, I marveled at how wonderful nature is and how it provides for us in so many ways.

Man by nature is a rhythmic being.
He walks, breathes, and sings, rhythmically;
his heart beats, an internal drum.
– Steven Londsdale

Here’s our little drummer girl…

And here’s some Spirit Drums to really inspire and make you want to take off into the wilderness with a back-pack and drum…
