Drumbeat

Blog 5 ...

              In the old days sans megaphones, microphones or town criers, nothing else better than sounds of drums round up people to hear and receive news. Beating on drums awakens peoples' pulses.  Every beating of the drum also produces a heightened reaction from body muscles.  It further forces a no-holds bar response. Drumbeats tell everyone in town that an important event is at hand, and a serious matter must be dealt with right that moment. They summon all to stop and to pay attention to the cause for which they called.

              While many of us go with the flow of musical beats in our lives, some of us actually prefer to follow an inner drumbeat.  Do you respond to the beat of your own drum, or are you ever mesmerized by the drumbeats of a crowd?
