The gift I received at Redfern is Understanding.
Understanding is
Precious and common place
Instantaneous and slow
About Others and Myself
About liturgy and freedom
About hunger and about being satisfied
About being chosen and about being available
About friends who tell and lead and call to celebration and shared suffering About being attuned to children – dancing – walking – crying- talking – asking questions – offering sustenance to grown-ups
About searing voices – simply, deeply, starkly challenging About being eloquently silenced
About dying and living
About togetherness
