“We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken” The Dead Heart - Midnight Oil
I hope everyone in Australia gets a chance to watch the documentary The Last Quarter even though it is heartbreaking viewing.
I hope people listen to Adam Goodes in retrospect as the events unfold and hear his gentle, proud voice of reason trying to be heard over the collective voice of the privileged white pack who continued to deny that racism played any part in their behaviour.
In keeping with trying to capture the little Church in all sorts of weather, I visited this morning as the thick veil of fog was starting to lift. I thought about how sad I am that this land, on my patch, will soon be gone. Still feeling shattered from the documentary, I reflected on the unimaginable horror and loss that our First Nation people encountered and still do some 200 years later. Not just a little patch of land down the road, but the loss of an entire country and way of life. And then to keep paying the price over and over again because of the colour of your skin.
