Nudge

Nudge 

              We have someone who likes drumming.  She drummed with such vigor two weeks ago, the end of the drumstick flew off.  She thought it went into the pit, but someone else said he felt something hit his foot.  It turned out the drumstick end did go into the pit next to the Grandmothers and the Grandfathers.  I thought it would have burned up in there, but it didn’t.  If a person feels like something hit them in the lodge, then something did, even if it came from the spirits.  When that happens, I always assume I’m being told something.  The person involved knew what it meant.  He said, “It was a nudge.”
