17. For Aboriginal people Deep Listening comes naturally
It’s about walking on the land
Softly quietly
And listening to the stories around the campfire
We’ve got to listen to the wind in the trees
Listen to the birds
It’s the feeling of a gift
A gift always comes back

51. We look up at the sky and we see the clouds
We see the blue gaps in between
The gaps matter
They link the clouds together
The shapes we see in the clouds may differ
But the sky and the clouds connect us all
