Dear One,
Blessings to you in this time of snowy weather. We hope that you’re staying warm and cozy (when you’re not out enjoying the snow). We remember this summer when we were busy with the garden, the backcountry, and food processing, thinking… “won’t it be nice to snuggle up by the fire with a book.” Now we are making sure to enjoy it while it’s here, rather than wanting to skip right back to the part where it’s warm out.
‘Tis the holiday season, and drum lessons make great holiday gifts! Call David at 872-4238 or email to inquire about scheduling your (or your loved one’s) drum, percussion, and rhythm lessons. As Rumi says, “The tambourine begs, Touch my skin so I can be myself.” Also see the events listed below for some fun holiday celebrations.
Our big news for the month is that Arlyn is pregnant, due in mid-April. We are thrilled and looking forward to this new addition to our family.
much love and many blessings on the coming New Year!
Arlyn and David

The Music by Rumi translation Coleman Barks
For sixty years I have been forgetful,
every minute, but not for a second
has this flowing toward me stopped or slowed.
I deserve nothing. Today I recognize
that I am the guest the mystics talk about.
I play this living music for my host.
Everything today is for the host.
