Whenever I have written the things I wanted to say, the words came in verse- verse, for me, is more natural. I don't even know if you can call my writing-writing in verse-but my natural tendency is rhythm. Poetry has a natural rhythm to it. I drum a lot . . . drumming is as close to me as my writing is. When I drum I enter a trance. Sometimes in writing, you can approach a similar state, but it's often serendipitous, though you have to be receptive and tolerant of yourself to let it all come out. Drumming is easier than writing though because it is more primal - writing itself is a very human thing; it's learned; it's something one has to work at, something upon which improvements can be made. What I write is an expression of personal experiences. Drumming is somehow more connected to the cosmic order-there is something very ancient about it. The way I think about writing is that it is like praying, worshipping, a ritual to whatever we believe makes us.
