A Different Drummer
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

They tell me there are at least fifty different kinds of drums across the world. I wonder what kind I hear–perhaps the bass or snare drum. No matter. We need to march joyfully with the sound we hear.

Thank you for your comments. Flowers have a way of communicating profound ideas without words – they reach out to us simply by being alive.
