This piece was sparked by two consecutive dreams I had when I visited Uluṟu and Kata Tjuṯa - Arrernte country, in 2021.
The night before reaching Yulara (the area Uluṟu sits) we were camping nearby. I had a beautiful celestial dream of an elder aboriginal man in the night sky filled with glistening blue stars.

The following night when reaching Yulara, I dreamt a vividly warm dream of an elder aboriginal woman by a fire and within the embers of the fire were figures of a grandmother and a child dancing around it.

I woke from these dreams filled with awe and reverence for the sprit within this sacred desert country that I was walking, and the ancestors of the Aṉangu people whom were welcoming me.
