Djembe Orchestras Of Colorado<p>"Be Patient With Your Drum. The Night Is Long" Zimbabwean proverb that means one should be patient and persistent in pursuing their goals, even if it takes a long time. In Zimbabwean culture, "the drum is a symbol of the heartbeat, the rhythm of life, and the connection to ancestors. The night: a metaphor for challenges & difficulties you may face along the way. It encourages one to keep drumming, keep living, and keep hoping, until the dawn of a new day."</p><p>It's about the virtues of patience; waiting for someone or something you love or desire -perhaps simply to play your drum better, or to achieve a promotion or some other lofty goal. The proverb is about how, when waiting for a desire to materialize and be achieved, time can seem longer than it is but how it's worth it to wait because even though the symbolic NIGHT IS LONG, it WILL END and the thing you waited for might be illuminated in the light of day.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Zimbabwe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zimbabwe</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/proverb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>proverb</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bepatient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bepatient</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LongNight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LongNight</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/drum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>drum</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/djembe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>djembe</span></a></p>
