There is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both large and small … Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches. (Psalm 104:25, 12)
I sleep to the sound of the ocean
Fall asleep to the sound of the sea.
The waters constantly in motion
Sound of waves comforting me.
I wake to the singing of birds
Stir awake to their whistle and chirp.
Feathered creatures making sweet music
Sounds of joy like fresh smelling herb.
I live in my heart’s fragile tenderness.
I’m strong in body and soul.
Thankful for life’s gentle blessedness.
Fresh melodies, making me whole. Ω
The traditional custodians are the Ngarrindjeri People – people of the lower Murray River, eastern Fleurieu Peninsula, and the Coorong of the southern-central area of the state of South Australia. Sadly it is felt by some that this term came from a cultural construct imposed by settler colonialists, who bundled together and conflated a variety of distinct Aboriginal cultural and kinship groups, including the Jarildekald, Tanganekald, Meintangk and Ramindjeri, into one homogenised pattern now known as Ngarrindjeri.
