I number of years ago I had the opportunity to hear and see Ms. Angelou “perform” this poem. It actually moved me to tears. Indeed, brilliant!

Week Twenty One

Over 52 weeks I will be learning all about how to live and work creatively. My teachers are Aussie birds and animals. We each have an unconscious undergrowth, it consists of the thoughts, feelings and ideas that rarely get uncovered and see the light of day. Numbat helps us to go within ourselves and dig out the old ideas and thoughts that we’d abandoned. You may find you start having unusual dreams when numbat visits you, or unusual ideas and thoughts. Pay attention to them, because chances are if you follow or listen to them, they will help to nourish you.

Acknowledgement of Country

Anika, Archie and I acknowledge that we are on Jaara country, and that the members and elders of the Dja Dja Warrung community and their forebears have been custodians of this land for many centuries, performing age-old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal. We acknowledge their living culture and their unique role in the life of this nation. We pay respect to the elders past and present of the Dja Dja Warrung nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
