This was a beautiful story, Ma-Ma was elderly but she had great wisdom which she learned from the stories and she felt the need to share all the stories she could with others. Her latest goal was with her grandchildren, she shared the story of the bluebird and of Goomidgie who then welcomed her to heaven. Another great story, well done, thanks for sharing.

LOL its my off time, I am caught up on chores-like it takes an hour to vacumm, dust, mop floors then another day I change the bed and do the laundry and tada that's it for a week, unless I am moving, then I have to secure the bits and pieces and usually spend a day on the road, then re set up, it actually doesn't take long. About every three weeks I get in a baking mode so I make cookies or peanut butter cups (they are better than reeses lol).

Perhaps I shall.

This is a very wise woman from a tribe that lives of the land. She tells a parable about a captive bird that could be about her being captive in her sick body. She lets her grandchildren know they should respect all things that live, flora, fauna and human.

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
A beautiful dreamtime story of how one person tried to capture the bluebird to sing only for him. When the disheartened bird could no longer sing, Goomidgie set it free to roam where it wanted and to sing for everyone. The grandma told the story to teach her granddaughter that nature belongs to everyone, and it is selfish to try and capture it for yourself. Then the grandma died.
Good story,
Rhonda

Comment from bob cullen
This is a most fantastic piece of writing. May I begin with a question? Are you indigenous? As an Aussie I must confess to ignorance when it comes to the history and traditions of our native people.
This story however truly fascinated me. The writing was quite brilliant and the message so applicable in today's greed orientated society where possession is more valued than sharing.
To me, this story has the same values and principles as some of the parables delivered by the Lord two thousand years ago.
Thank you for sharing this

Bob. My grandmother was aboriginal. I like to share our stories; as you have said, parallels with the words of Jesus. Yes, we live in a greed-oriented world, Our people worship and respect nature. Pity the whites worship the mighty dollar! Blessings, Kay.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Nature, with all of her splendor and grandeur, does not belong to just one person and one alone, Kay. It belongs to each and every one of us.
Just like the beautiful songbird in your lovely, well written story, we too need our freedom in order to be able to sing.
This is an excellent tale, almost fairy tale-like. It's well written and the message is positive and well conveyed.

This was beautiful Kaye, and you told the story so well, I could imagine I was there listening to the story as Ma-Ma told it.
It has a sad, but beautiful ending as Ma-Ma went with the blue bird to her final rest.
Thank you for sharing.

I think you are the best teller of tales about Australia bringing to life the people of the land, their stories, and character as well as the way they relate to the wildlife and environment. Best wishes, love Alan.

Beautifully told with great sensitivity. It always fascinates me to see the parallels between the Aboriginal Dreaming and stories from western cultures. My uncle made a study of the many parallels between Celtic mythology and beliefs, and those of this wonderful country. You are an accomplishes storyteller in your own right, which is a great talent.
