The injun I knew in Central Australia …

I didn’t know him as ‘injun’ at first, because he could have been anybody with a mixed White/East Asian background.

He just started to stand out in my ‘field of awareness’ – maybe one could say, because I would always see him vividly before me ….. prior to him actually appearing physically round the corner ….
Once when talking about the “Songlines and Sites” …. and since he seemed to have a keen (energetic) awareness about them, I had to ask if he was ‘injun’ – and he is.

The Saami hunting trails, the Aboriginal Songlines and the Injun trails are not the same, but once you know yours – you become/are aware of the trails of others.
When those haven’t been part of one’s culture, people just pass them by – noticing nothing.

People talk about lay lines, but I am not sure what those are.

Yep, I am a real believer in song.
I have no clue where I would be today without peoples
sharing their songs and learning from song.
When I sing ancient songs, it is my belief that all those
before me that have sung that song and know that song are building
a relationship and nurture each other.

My words don't relay what I want to relay but it is something most Beautiful, SONG IS.
Birds are always saying something if you have the ears to hear them.
I have a little saying I like. "From the Land of singing Rocks and Dancing Feathers"


People can either think I am crazy or they have a clue what I mean.
Dealing with Spirit can go either way, comprende?

I'm quite sure I have posted this before - from a favourite 'Strayan' cartoonist Leunig:
Quote:
Dear God,

We give thanks for birds. All types of birds.
Small birds and large birds.
Domestic fowl, migratory birds and birds of prey,
hooting birds, whistling birds, shrikes,
coloured parrots and dark darting wrens.
Birds too numerous to mention.
We pray for them all.

We mourn the loss of certain species
and pray for the deliverance of endangered ones.
We pray, too, for farm birds,
that they may be released from cruelty and suffering.
We give thanks for eggs and feathers,
for brave, cheerful songs in the morning
and the wonderful haunting, night prayers of owls,
mopokes, frogmouths and all nocturnal fowl.

We praise the character of birds, their constancy,
their desire for freedom, their flair for music and talent for flying.
May we always marvel at the ability to fly.

Especially we praise their disregard for human hierarchy
and the ease with which they leave their droppings
on the heads of commoners or kings regardless.
Grant them fair weather, fresh food and abundant materials
for building their nests in spring.
Provide them too with perches and roosts with pleasant aspects.

Dear God, guide our thoughts to the joy and beauty of birds.
Feathered angels.
May they always be above us.

Amen!

At this moment we seem to have a whole nation of Rainbow Lorikeets (many flocks) in our garden.

Gorgeous, birds.
I'll bet they have big personalities too.
They remind me of Macaws, probably related.


Nice prayer, birds with equal opportunity droppings.LOL

I never have had a chocolate fondue or a chocolate fountain.
So I guess I have never had the pleasure of dipping my strawberries.
I've only ever had the pre-dipped chocolate covered strawberries.

You don't need a Fondue nor Fountain, just put some pieces of Choc: ( dark is healthier ) in a small bowl and melt it, yummy.... Naughty but nice

Oh yeah, I can use the dashboard method right at the Berry fields.
Dash board method: unwrap chocolate and place in bowl on the dash board of vehicle.
Maybe I will do a whole bag of special dark Hershey kisses.
