CQBlogo.jpgForeword by Ray Aldred
Dear reader,
The drum is the place where all of our relatives gather. This book seeks to honour the relationships that make up our lives. The rhythm of the drum and rhythm of this book help draw out the dance that is within all of creation. The authors of this book have done a marvellous job of helping lead a community to find and affirm the dance that lies at the heart of each person, the dance that Creator has put into all things.
The children keep the old people alive because they bring healing, just as the south wind brings healing in the spring. This book provides a resource to facilitate those conversations between young and old, between creation and Creator. These conversations nurture the stuff of life that lies at the heart of every child, every human being—so that every person on Turtle Island will be able to stand on the earth and hear it welcome them back, so that we might understand what it means to be a human being. This book helps to build those relationships with the earth and with each other.
Wisdom is like a river that flows from Creator. Understanding comes when we enter this river that has flown through the land and our ancestors. The task of learning the dances and stories of this land helps us find the wisdom stored up in all of creation. The authors of this book have provided a way forward on the journey through the land that is our life toward the wisdom that will lie at the end.
All my relatives.
