| Words of Rhythm |
| The drum breathes The heart drums Words silenced The hands speak The beat moves Unleashed love Time-space loose Lose control Pounding percussion Purpose and passion Enter the place Of rhythm Enter the space Of peace |

| The Rhythm Method by Chrystine Julian April 2003 |
| If it was 2051 you may not remember but, There once was a time when men ruled the world There was hunger and war. The earth lay bleeding from rape. They ignored her pain and raped her again. Where had the caring gone? Was there no control or was it no soul? There once was a time when men ruled the world but where was the rule of love? Waste, want and welts of wealth raised across the earth The excess piled in hills of greed and the excess piled in heaps of need. Religion stole their souls. A light shone round about them and a voice spoke within, God is love is all it said. They ignored the voice and raped again their own mother their best friend. The voice spoke louder now God is love it said. Some looked up and saw their mother’s pain. We must stop them before she’s dead and said, never again. They rose against the rapist they fought against the sin. They stood between their mother and the men. They heard the voice within. The rule of love now begins. You may not remember but there was a time when men ruled the world. Please never forget. There was a time when men ruled the world. |

| Let your body move and sway to the eclectic beats as our spirits swirl around in ecstatic joy. The circle is the metaphor for our world. The rhythms are a conversation of ancient and modern cultures. The participants are primal beings wrapped in joy. Live within a poem written in the languages of body, soul and rhythm. |
