5. Song of Narail - Village Flute Index



narail.


       is a mystery worth deducing

               is a tradition of the furry, fishy kind

           is ability celebrated

      is a river of identity
   
   is about waiting for the rain

               is the dance of the paint brush

         and the weave of the song

     and the excitement of the match

             Because each inch of Narail's soil is 

                      Cultivated.

"A trail of deduction seemingly without end."

A Monsoon Living
Working for when the rain will come.

"Delivering to puddles and pounds for hundreds of years."

Song of Sultan
Creativity: it's not so much about the finished article as about the process.

"In the town of art a hypnotising flute song used to play..."

The Song Catcher
The listener.

"Knowledge I want to know your real name."

Champions of Narail
What makes the champion? Is it something in the water?
