Drumming at Marymount Hospital

I am going to be playing drums with the seniors at Marymount Hospital today and am looking forward to it very much.  This is something I have been called to for a long time and it is coming to fruition.  It is hard to come up with words that describe how I feel after connecting with someone who might have Alzheimer's or dementia.  It is possible to connect to somebody at a different level than verbal communication.  When you hand somebody a shaker or drum and show them how to play it and look into their eyes you make a connection that can not be made at any other level.  I hope it goes well because I want to keep doing this.
