The Compass in our Hand

28 April 2020 Nicole ConnerHealth, Wellbeing, Spirituality

“We are asleep with compasses in our hands.” – W.S. Merwin –   Overnight my world became more silent. The ceasing of so much noise and activity was not planned or expected.

Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees. – Faith Baldwin I love Autumn. I love watching the light change to thick, plush gold as our planet tilts on its axis while we orbit the sun. In our Southern Hemisphere, the temperature begins to drop in March.

Acknowledgement of Country

I wish to acknowledge the Wurundjeri-willam people of the Kulin nation who are the Traditional Owners of the Land on which I live. I want to pay my respect to the Elders of the Kulin Nation, both past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders. I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
