The warm hues of the land pulsed beneath Marli as she sat cross-legged, her body bathed in the soft glow of dawn. She closed her eyes, feeling the ancient rhythms of her ancestors coursing through her veins. The Dreaming whispered in the wind, guiding her back to herself.
For years, Marli had wandered away from her roots, lost in the noise of a world that moved too fast. But today, she returned to Country, to the stories woven into the ochre earth. She traced the songlines with her breath, her spirit reconnecting with the sacred energy around her.
White dots and lines appeared in her mind’s eye, symbols of her people’s wisdom. The sun, her guardian, shone above, warming her heart. The rivers of her lineage flowed strong, cleansing her pain, making space for new beginnings.
She exhaled. The journey to healing had begun.
