For Flint… A Wise Man Said

For Flint… A Wise Man Said April 24, 2015

The Dragon Ritual Drummers have been like family to me for almost two decades now. I was sad to learn this morning of the passing of Flint, a brother, a drummer, and an inspiration. These are the only words I have today that can break through a heavy heart, a teary eye, and a shaky hand, they are for a man who always put a smile on my face, and that’s not easy to do. He will be truly missed. Blessings to you my friend on your journey to the ancestors!

4 Flint and The Butterflies!

 

A wise man once told me to look to the sky

with joy in my heart,

wiping a tear from my eye.

 

A wise man once told me that change must always come…

that the sun will still rise…

That we will always remember where we are from.

 

A wise man once whispered his hugs are still here….

Cold nights won’t mean lonely,

It’s just a new ship we must steer.
