Starved Rock Drum Circle





Today some friends and I travelled to Starved Rock to attend a drum circle lead by a native man from Canada. It was quite a bit different from our drum circle, but still very enjoyable. This one was kinda like a "mini pow wow" in that there was singing and dancing. Ron (native in charge) talked some about traditions and just about how life works; i.e., what goes around comes around, treating others with respect because it's the right thing to do, giving, making connections with others, etc. It was a nice afternoon followed by some flute and piano playing. We browsed in the gift shop, and, of course, we ate. You didn't think we'd forget to eat, did you? In fact, we ate at our favorite hang out in Oglesby - Delaney's. Thanks, girls, for a fun Sunday afternoon!
