A Camel, The Outback, and a Sore Bum
I have mysterious desire to tour the Outback of Australia on a camel. That intrigues me. I suppose I am imagining the adventure of being in a pristine wilderness astride an animal who is completely at home there, and I desire to feel the temperature of the desert, to smell the wind, to hear the silence. But until I can actually get my hands on a camel, I am writing this article as the next best thing. That way, no sore bum.

Dreamtime
The Aboriginal people of Australia have a culture that goes back several thousand years, to the Dreamtime, which is in danger of being lost. "The Dreamtime is always and never, a time that never was and is always happening. It is the force that spiritually maintains the world and has to be constantly recreated through ritual, meditation, and prayer if the world, the clan and the self are to be renewed" (Jean Houston).

Ka-die-chi Man
In a history lecture, I was confronted by the sway of ideas inculcated upon the very young. “The Jesuits had a saying – Give us a boy until he is six. We will then give him back but he will be ours forever,” Professor Emory had said. “Of course, Freud expanded upon the concept.” I remember paying strict attention to my prof’s words but when all was said and done, it could be said that I just didn’t get it. It wasn’t until nearly a decade later that I got it or least I thought I had. At the time of my epiphany, I was teaching Aboriginal children at Urapunga, a remote 752 square mile cattle property on the southern fringe of Arnhem Land.
