"In the depth of winter I finally learned that within me lay an invincible Summer".

~ Albert Camus ~

Urunga where it really is an invincible summer.

I love this planet Earth.  All of Earth is beautiful.  All of this land here in Australia is beautiful and no matter where my feet stand I am standing on sacred ground. 

I have been blessed to be with the people who have lived here forever while in this area and especially this tiny paradise - Uncle Tom's Urunga and count those guys as my closest friends.

We journeyed together and laughed and cried together and shared our stories  and our love and buried people we loved but together we explored this exciting prospect I called understanding it.  I am talking about my friend Suzi Kelly.  Shes a local girl from here, her father was Uncle Tom's brother.

So far in all of these years Suzi and I have had an enormous journey of time together notched up watching each others children grow and break our hearts and make us proud. 

We took Uncle on the journey of his life together and we bonded forever in an experience that was sent from the heart of the ancestral spirits themselves.  Heaven and Earth moved and we three flew to Uluru together.    I am still smiling about it.   Suzi and I look forward to the time we can retrace those steps together again in the future on the anniversary of when we went last time.

Uncle passed over last year.   He was a month from turning 90 years old.  Uncle Tom was and will always be to me the grandest old blackfellah I ever knew.   We all miss him.
