Jumping forward in time from the last posts, this is a beautiful Japanese couple we met in Byron Bay, and they came to our campsite to perform a Tea Ceremony...it was soooo amazing, and they told us how they had decided to find out all about it and have a tea ceremony everyday whilst they were travelling...they said not so many people have them anymore... they were really interested in re-discovering Japanese traditions...its a bit of a rubbish photo but it just makes me want to be Japanese...I decided I would like to get married in a kimono!...if i get married!

Sydney from the Island

Benedictory Chant (By Navajo Indian)

Now talking God,

With your feet I walk,

I walk with your limbs,

I carry fourth your body,

For me your mind thinks,

Your voice speaks for me.

Beauty is before me

And beauty behind me,

Above and below me hovers the beautiful,

I am surrounded by it,

I am immersed in it.

In my youth I am aware of it,

And in old age

I shall walk quietly

The Beautiful Trail.

A lyric by American Indians-I bought a lovely second hand book from a bookshop in Cairns, which has some really beautiful poems and interesting little stories... they really remind me of what i have read about the Aborigines so far, I think most native peoples had or have a more intense and real connection with nature and and spirituality

This building was beautiful....it is the timber house...made entirely of timber, it had an installation in it, but i thought the building was lovely in itself
