Dreaming
is

used by Aborigines to describe the
relations and balance between the spiritual, natural and moral

a Dreaming is a totemistic design or artwork, which can be
owned by a tribal group or individual. This usage of Stanner's term
was popularized by
Geoffrey Bardon

Roots of the Tree:
Our history and where we come from
"We
are one but we are many"
is a song that sums
up how we live on this Planet. We come from diverse backgrounds and
bring with us a wealth of life experience. We have been many places. The
rich cultural heritage within provides a sturdy root base for each of us
to strengthen and fortify one another. We have each in our own ways,
dealt with adversity and weathered terrible storms. Some of us have
spent many years running away, being too busy, and running from
ourselves. There are times in our lives that we have been isolated, and
the challenges have been many. We acknowledge the skills we have
gathered along the way, and we know life works in mischievous ways. We
say mischievous, rather than mysterious, because that is how it has
been. There is healing in what we share, and provide the nourishment and
feedback we need to keep on at it. Our trunk is strong, and we are
resilient and of a tough bark.
“WE
ARE DEADLY, AYE!”
Mangroves
trees live in the coastal intertidal grounds and
grow
in areas with low-oxygen
soil, where slow-moving waters allow fine sediments to
accumulate.
For support Mangroves grow
Aerial
roots. Mangroves cope with
Saltwater and extract freshwater from the seawater that
surrounds them. Mangroves survive by
filtering out as much as 90 percent of the salt found in
seawater as it enters their roots. Some species excrete salt
through glands in their leaves. Mangroves acclimatize to the environment have had
to physically adapt their leaves, roots and reproductive methods
in order to survive in a harsh, dynamic environment of soft, low
oxygen soils and varying salinity.
