Reflections

Change

Sometimes lessons are loud, like a slap around the head with a wet towel, and sometimes they are the most quiet whispers, hushed tones from the shadows that are barely understandable. Then there are the ones that it takes a subconscious to unravel. 

Last night I had a nightmare about Lego bridges breaking underneath me. 

Who builds lego bridges? Seriously. 

Well, it seems as if I have. And every now and then I stamp extra hard in my life and they crumble away under my feet. They might be bridges I've built between myself and community groups, or people, or practices,  - mostly things that I (and society, probably) feel like I should be doing. and every now and then I make a life choice that doesn't support that Should, that Bridge, and it crumbles away, leaving me with my feet standing . . . .exactly where?

So even though it's all on track and all humming along beautifully, life seems to have taken a turn down a little side track that I hadn't noticed until now, with sometimes less than firm footing, and I have to float and fall my way along by halves until things solidify under me again. 

The feeling is like having the reality around me yanked away and having a new, slightly different one inserted in it's place. The change is quick as a flash, but it still has left me reeling; a little jarred when the differences are noticed. The adventure continues . . .

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners and First People of the land on which I stand, who are collectively known as the Southern Yamatji People. I pay my respects to the Elders past, present and future, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of the Southern Yamatji People.
I would also like to specifically acknowledge the Naaguja and Wilunya people from amongst the collective group of Southern Yamatji People and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. The Naaguja and Wilunya Peoples are the Traditional Owners and First People of the place I have made my home and where I make my art.
