Deep Within
by Barry Bittman, MD

Deep within the essence of who we are there's a sound,
a vibration, an emanation that expresses life from every cell.
It resonates in harmony with all living creatures-
an inner voice ready to emerge as a vital heartbeat
that inscribes a personal signature.

The rhythm of life is a symphony-
the expression of our soul revealed by the conductor within.
Our unique voice resounds through the way we choose to live.
When we connect with each other
and extend ourselves to one another,
we share our gift.

When our hands connect with a drum
that vibrates with our energy, vitality, emotion,
exhilaration, hope sensitivity, giving, sharing and unity,
we become whole again.

For music gets through where words do not pass,
when barriers separate us and when the odds are against us.
It uplifts us when hopelessness darkens each day,
when communications break down,
when we yearn for common ground
and when we need each other the most.

Group drumming opens doors, enhances self-esteem,
ensures a healthy workout, stimulates our minds,
boosts our creative potential,
makes us laugh and connects us on many levels.
It also builds bridges, heightens awareness
and strengthens bonds.

My participation shows the world who I am,
affirms that I can make a difference,
and adds my unique sound to the celebration of life.

Group drumming tunes our biology,
orchestrates our immunity,
and enables healing to begin.

It's simply a matter of letting go, joining in and having fun!
