Dream Time (Historical): book I
“After all, hers was hundreds of thousands of years old—a worship of the divine forces that created her beloved land.
A mist, blue and powerfully scented, hung over the graveyard that afternoon, as if the Dream Time people blessed her arrival among them with a supernatural gift.
Pragmatists would have said it was merely one of those weather phenomena that caused the mists of the mountain eucalypti to settle over the lower areas.
Rose wept as her husband read aloud from his Bible. Dry...-eyed, Amaris paid no heed. She’d already said her farewell to the aborigine woman.
Pulykara deserved an aboriginal burial. She would want to be wrapped in a sheet of paperbark and placed on a platform high in a tree. A year or so later, her bones could be removed, painted with red ocher, and ceremonially placed in a small cave. Pulykara believed that these formalities had to be done correctly to liberate the person’s spirit.MoreLess
