Poetry Time This monthly series began more than a decade ago in an effort to encourage the joys of poetry. Here we celebrate other poet's work, as well as our own. If you would like to submit, simply visit the  ABOUT  page for guidelines & contact information. EDUCATED LIES I grieve for this world, as it fights its wars, Where humans all slam their doors. Here, people starve, knowing only pain. While others, rich, stake out their claim. Sad to see - such emptiness I feel. This world cannot last forever; Life’s just a one time deal. Man, thinking ourselves unbeatable, Tried to conquer with knowledge we lacked. Now, so far destroyed, Earth takes her final stance, While we pray for just one second chance. We watch, knowing what our children will see. Helpless, we cannot undo this awful disease. So watch, my people, my educated men, Just watch your ancestors’ victory descend. While you sit at your desks and thunder your speeches, Cry, for your child’s child will live to die, B...

   Drum It With Brummet's Public Hand Drum Circles  August 26th (Tuesday)  7 PM - 9  PM (Pacific) This  2-hour e vent is held monthly, and is for all skill levels and are a lot of fun for ages 15 -80. Bring your own drum, or percussive instrument, but  if you do not have a drum - let us know as we do have a limited supply that we are able to let participants use for events like this.   Drum Circle  participants simply "play” at making music with a variety of drums and percussion instruments. This activity requires careful listening to the music at that moment, as it is being played by members in the room. Rather than being instructed, participants learn to "jam" with other drummers.  Dave Brummet  facilitates these events to ensure everyone is comfortable, playing at an enjoyable volume and having a great time. Held in a beautiful setting in Downtown Creston, BC - this specially designed music room features large, soft, padded ...
