A rainy thundery night gives way to shades of blue sky and cumulus cloud this campervan morning. The sky is bright, the air fresh, the humidity of the last 24 hours replaced by a cool freshness and a slight breeze. Sodden and heavy ground from overnight downpours, puddles and residue lie everywhere. Monday and the start of the working week for many. The roads seem quieter than usual, a change in wind direction perhaps. The sun catching the tree tops emerges from cloud cover. Birds are busy, a few Robins on song, those atrocious green parrot things making a right racket as they pass over. I think I can pick out a Chaffinch close bye. Far off calls of a Crow or two and the changing pace of jet engines as planes fly over head. They seem quite low this morning. A few clear days ahead after a busy time drumming and the lead up to a trip to Scotland to be with the drumming tribe. It’s Monday and not a huge amount to report. Reflecting on a team building drum circle yesterday and what was learned about myself during the interactions. Quite a lot it would seem. Having worked for 25 years in various teams and now 12 or 13 years on my own its been interesting standing on the outside looking in. And then a few times a year the drum circle facilitators community come together and I am part of a team again for a few days and then back to my almost solitary work. Just processing this morning these roles and changes. The similarities and the differences. You read a lot about team working, the power of the team etc. Never under estimate one person and a van load of drums. Louise May Alcott writes ;
“ It takes two flints to make a fire “.
She is indeed right. Myself and my van load of drums. Lovely days people.
