The Corner of my Eye

Out of the corner of my eye today,  I caught two things, of apparent insignificance, yet possibly, they were deeply significant.

The Indigenous flag, flying high above the roof tops of the town skyline.

A Sacred Ibis, landing on a neighbors roof.

Birds are interconnected with Indigenous dreaming and story. The other day I saw paintings of Waang the Crow and Bunjil, the Wedged Tailed Eagle. Both important figures in the story of this land. Crows are everywhere. I have only once seen a Wedge Tailed Eagle  on the Basalt plains.
