How to describe the sun in leaves

2nd June 2008.
Lesson 1.Yey nidja ben baal doolyaa-yaaraagat nyininy - is the light sitting upon the leaf or is it doolyaa-bwoorr nidja nyininy, inside the leaf sitting? And shadows of other leaves behind, above, atop, yarn nidja, nidja noll, doolyaa-nollak-yaaragat-nyininy, nidja keniny don-waariny, dancing and waving, but ngiyang doolyaa-don waariny? Yey ngiyang?? Baal maaman yirra nidja nyininy, maar-boolsbininy - beautiful to speak and to ponder.

I am a doctoral student in humanities, studying Indigenous spaces and nourished terrains, landscapes, cartography and places called home. The window where I sit looks north into a grove of platanus - plane trees - ranging in size from 10 to 15 metres. Another window behind me, looks east into the same grove of platanus that shield the hollow where I sit writing my thesis. Beyond the grove of platanus orientalis stand another grove of aged Pines. In amongst these trees are both the movements of air, birds, people and transformations of colour and of the seasons through winter into summer. Sometimes, I see assembled scholars and students, both those gathering or slow walking in pairs, before disappearing engulfed in the green beyond and bending around me. The point of keeping a blog on the view from this window is to inspire the observer within me and to identify with that which conjures a view to wild places and my imagination and insights. For nearly 12 months I have sat here and thought repeatedly about the insights this view has given and this blog is the best way I know of not forgetting what I see when it arrives.
