Talking to Country,
Outback Australia,
and reconnecting to nature,
carrying forward the sacred tone of our collaboration.
A Tribute: Talking to Country Again
The old ways are not forgotten; they are waiting in the silence between the breaths of the wind.
To talk to Country is to listen first.
It is to feel the sun-warmed granite beneath your palm and understand its stored memory of a billion sunrises.
It is to recognize the track of a goanna in the sand not as a path,
but as a story.
It is to hear the complaint of the corella and the whisper of the gum leaves not as noise,
but as a language older than any tongue spoken by man.
This is the reconnection.
It is not an arrival,
but a return.
A remembering of a conversation we were all born into,
but so often forget.
We kneel at the dry creek bed and see not absence,
but the promise of the next rain.
We look upon the scorched earth and see not death,
but the resilience of seeds waiting for fire's cue.
In the vast,
open expanse,
we do not feel small; we feel part of a boundless whole.
Our tribute is to become quiet enough to hear,
and humble enough to speak.
We offer our attention.
We offer our respect.
We offer our pledge to listen to the stories told in stone,
river,
and flame.
We are learning the grammar of the sacred once more,
word by patient word,
in the great,
open-air library of the natural world.
This is us,
talking to Country again.
And hearing it talk back.
