Rainbow Serpent

The afternoon of the Full moon brought with it this hazy yet glassy softness that hung off the horizon. The smoky distortion brought a glimmer, speckles of light flickering and shimmering, dancing their way from one part of the ocean to the other.

I felt like a moth, pulled towards the light.

I glanced over my shoulder to see if anyone else was completely enamoured by this spectacle.

No one.

I couldn’t quite capture the heavy glow and told myself not every moment needed to be captured. Shortly after, I saw some children frolicking amongst the water, also dancing.

The purity, the innocence.

I recalled my time as a sunbathed child with only my imagination, nature and an accelerated heartbeat and suddenly it was like the moment I had been looking for, found me.

As the sun grew closer to ending its cycle, my mind became flooded with memories of the Nile.

The same sun putting on the same show.

As time shifted the colors became characters.

I felt this overwhelming sense of harmony as I witnessed each color of the spectrum taking their individual expressive form.

It was the simplest birth of beauty and cosmic magic.

I once again stared out into the skies canvas, a thought flickered through my mind as I embraced the ever changing palette, Rainbow Serpent.

It was a fleeting thought, inspired by the land.

At the time, I didn’t dissect it.

I witnessed the thought, absorbed the colors and felt the moment.

PART 2 - To come, as earlier this morning the Rainbow Serpent slithered back into my mind. I used this fleeting thought as an intuitive insight, a revelation and opportunity to assist my learning of Indigenous Aboriginal creation stories and Mythology that parallel Ancient Kemet.

Please honour that our Indigenous Ancestors and stewards of the Land here in Australia are the oldest continuous living culture on Earth with evidence dating back to 65,000 years ago.

They still hold a deep and profound connection to this day. Their timeless tending and connection carries the heartbeat and soul of this country that is often overlooked.
