As always, such a joy to receive these posts on Sunday. This one truly resonated and had me looping back to our conversation from earlier this week. So grateful for it all 💝
Oh wonderful! I love how the threads weave into all aspects of life. I often find that themes that come up in mentoring sessions are ones I’m currently working with in my own creative work. Reminds of the story of the old man who heals people by first looking within and see where he himself has that ailment :)
Really wonderful to listen to your voice sharing this week. I was working in the garden and your message and words felt especially loud as my hands dug into the earth. I plan to share this and your other works with my children as the way you compile your information and express it is just incredibly wonderful. And so comprehensive.
Oh what magical images! Both you listening while tending your garden, and sharing some of my pieces with your kids. I would love to know what they think! Not sure how many young readers have access to my work… I know one lovely reader shared an article once for her grandchildren to listen to by the fire with her. I was so touched!
Love this piece and the animist approach to life. But I started thinking about the name of the Palawa and whether it was the origin of the british slang “palaver” which means “inconvenience” or “pain in the neck”. Perhaps that’s how the British colonialists saw the Palawa people as they ejected them from their lands
Ooh! Thankfully I don’t suspect that’s the case, as one of the terms Tasmanian aboriginal people used when referring to themselves was 'Palawa'. This was the name of the 'first man', who was created from the kangaroo by a creation spirit. Phew!
