From start to finish, it was pure joy. We and they danced, drummed, sang, chanted, drew, and shared wisdom born of\u00a0 likely\u00a0a \u00a0hundred or more years of combined experience in our collective fields.\u00a0 The 6 hours flew by and when we were finished, I felt as if I was ready to fly\/float out of the room.\u00a0I\u00a0had arrived bright and early this morning,\u00a0 having spent nearly 90 minutes on the road in the rain, at the beginning of rush hour. As I unloaded my car and hauled in drums and boxes and bags of stuff to use in the class, I was feeling buzzy and not particularly grounded. It didn&#8217;t take long\u00a0for me to\u00a0sink my roots into the Earth, my branches stretched to the sky as I \u00a0breathed my way into bliss.\u00a0Throughout the day, it\u00a0was heartening to observe the impact on the folks in the class who had gathered from their various corners of the world and diverse settings in which they work and the different populations they serve. They laughed, smiled, nodded absorbing of the concepts; offering their own take on the subject matter. We left all the richer for it.<\/p>\n<p>I was especially glad to have two of my special drums; a frame drum with a celtic knot\/Star of David design and a ceramic dumbek with a spiral design on\u00a0 the head with one of my favorite Rumi quotes &#8220;Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field.

I remember back in the early 1980s, I worked for the South Jersey Council on Alcoholism, offering trainings for teachers who, in turn would do drug and alcohol education for their students. I was young (in my early 20&#8217;s) and newly graduated with a degree in Psychology. I was partnered with someone who had been in the recovery field for many years and had an encyclopedic knowlege of the subject matter and an engaging presentation style. I watched in awe as he had the audience eating out the palm of his hand. I, on the other hand, had\u00a0brought notes with me and used them liberally in my part of the presentation. I felt awkward and decidedly unprofessional. I asked him afterward how he did it.\u00a0 His one word answer?\u00a0 &#8220;Stories.&#8221;\u00a0 He went on to explain that when I had anecdotes to share, my presentations would flow more readily as well. All of these years later, I wish I could see him and tell him&#8230;.&#8221;I finally got it.
