The percussive movement of the drum, by 
its repetitiveness and its sound, brings the intended spiritual into the
 physical and makes it real. On the previous night we gathered our gifts
 and gave them out in the form of song. This is not exactly a permeation
 of the physical when compared to the drum. It is no less important 
either. In point of fact it is a little alike to someone praying for 
someone who is ill (and this we could call piping the spiritual 
inspiration) or administering an exact remedy or food (and this would be
 drumming for example).
If we deliver a wonderful inspiration or
 truth, if we share a thought or intuitively are guided to act, this 
would be spiritually playing the pipes. On the other hand if we bring 
something into actuality by example proving a spiritual worth, being 
dynamic to a visible reality that is further now within the world at 
large, then we have drummed, so to speak, and made it real.
On this night there is a certain intent required to accompany this power of this drumming. We require the preparation of the nights before to help guide and clarify what it is that we would choose to find so important that we would have it made real through us, to incarnate through us.
