yuin land, deua river
May. 16th, 2005 11:38 pmtyping with one hand laying on my side with babanouk purring whilst sitting atop me.
i got books from the library on fossils, prospecting, national parks of australia, secret societies, geological formations and finding bush foods. yeah. i packed my pack, filled a box with food (barley, coconut milk, bananas, museli, potatoes, leek, carrots, tomatoes, chickpeas, chai) and aired out my sleeping bag. sommer was kind enough to lend me her air matress which i will blow up myself since there is no air pump. i have my gold pan. enough undies and socks. i have a journal and pens and my suitcase of art things (paints, pencils, more paints, canvasses. i have envelopes and paper. oh and i have a little chair. a wooden chair. all of the medications except for celebrex, which i will pick up from the chemist tomorrow morning. trangia is ready. tent is at the door.
here i go, to the land.
i will be travelling up with anne and eleven, who are sharing driving. also eleven's dog bigsy, is travelling with us.
i am nervous, excited, impatient, anxious, scared. everything.
the land is a place where magic happens, where secrets are held, where solace is everywhere if you let it be. only wimmin, only the creatures, only the earth.
no electricity, no running water, no telephone.
instead there is the fire, the river and cooee'ing: none for NO one for YES and three for IN TROUBLE / HELP ME.
think good thoughts of me whilst i am gone. you will be with me.
