Just a few thoughts
·
There were so many powerful expressions in the
media about Australia Day trying to explain who we are as Australians. The one
that struck me most -
Dr Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann
“We
have adapted to a new way of living.
We have learnt to speak your English.
We, for many years, have walked on a one way street to learn the white people’s
way.
Now is the time for you to come closer to understand us and understand how we
live and listen to the needs of our communities”

Jesus
is waiting for our minds to open, our spirit to deepen.
I
read an opinion in the media that stated in no uncertain terms that we should
move on!
The past is no longer relevant!
The immediate response was – “Well why than are we spending so much time
celebrating the invasion and colonisation of Australia?
