Plant your roots

A few days ago, my daughter and I were enjoying a day at our park, and they had many entertainers for everyone to enjoy. We were at a nice grassy knoll and a troop of japanese drummers began to play. It was wonderful to listen to and also to watch. After the man who runs the troop was showing groups of children, and adults, how to play. He explained that you must first plant your feet firmly on the ground, and put in your roots. I loved that this is how you must begin, and it applies so well in life. You must have your footing solid before attempting anything new. I really loved seeing my daughter follow his instructions and use his technique to bang on the drums. It was an amazing experince.

if you are interested here is a video with some talented drummers.
