A Word From The Authors © Brummet Media Group Several years ago I was a guest on the Follow Your Passion Podcast but recently I was inspired to listen to it again.  This particular quote from the interview (below) struck me as being of interest to you as well.  If you would like to access the full Follow Your Passion Podcast interview click on the link below.  https://www.follow-your-passion.biz/1949742/episodes/10651781 " In the past, I had always turned to writing to vent emotions in a way that I felt was very private, I didn’t have to share with other people, but I could always be really honest about on paper.  Paper and I, pen and I, have always gotten along very well. So it was easy for me to turn to writing when it came to looking for solace.  The writing itself, and the direction I wanted to take my writing  - where it would be making a positive difference - pointed me in a direction that fed me with all these amazing people out there in the world....

A SPARROW DIED During the night a sparrow died, I found him lying on my back step, On his back, frozen, in the snow, So close, a mere foot from the door. Perhaps he hoped to get inside If the man would bring him in Just for a while, to feel the warm By a register in the kitchen floor. Then let back out to fly away, To survive another frigid day. It made me wonder - standing there, When a sparrow dies, does anyone care?  Find the Series:  (US)  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YMCRVZ3 (Canada)  https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09YMCRVZ3 ~~~     Follow us & find our Books:   on Amazon Visit:   Drum It With Brummet Blog Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ...

    Drum It With Brummet's Hand Drum Circles  October 29th (Wednesday)  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 sea...

Poetic Wanderings  Poetry has this unique ability to heal as it is being written, just as it heals when it is being read.  For Dave's father, Frank Nick Brummet, it began with a few published poems in high-school annuals.  He wrote his first serious poem titled Sentinel On The Hill in the '70's - b y 1996 the muse had struck & he began to write and study writing in earnest.  Delve into this poetic journey celebrating love, reflections on nature & a lifetime of memories today. ~~~     Follow us & find our Books:   on Amazon Visit:   Drum It With Brummet Blog Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​
