Flutes for the Journey

Flutes came before fingers
Flutes came before fingers. "Flutes came before people. The wind made them and played them. One culm leaning on another rubbed holes the weather whispered through; birds pursuing bugs or building nests drilled other notes in the internodes. Long afterwards, the human race came wandering down the path of spontaneous mutation and built their villages beside the groves. Bamboo moaning in the windy midnight made melodies that seemed played by spirit fingers, strange lips, and a ghost orchestra of ancestors come to mumble down the long tube of dreams....." from The Book of Bamboo by David Farrelly , Sierra Club Books, 1984 The sound of the flute has the ability to transform a space and bring relaxation to both the player and listeners. A tool of the mystics from all over the world. In China the flute is called the hollow spinal column. A hollow/holy place for the breathe of the divine to sing through. For truly, we are the flutes and the breathe of the eternal is playing us, in the celestial orchestra. Hafiz said it perfectly when he wrote: " I am, A hole in a flute, that the Christ's breath moves through. Listen to this music, I am, the concert from the mouth of every creature, singing with the myriad chords." From the Gift, The intention of our flutes are, to be tools for balancing and tuning ourselves and each other to our natural states of peace, love, and gratitude. Shamanic healing wands that are well needed in these times of transitioning paradigms and human consciousness.
