Morning Has Broken
I inherited the Kookaburra totem from my maternal Grandmother. I was given the Kookaburra Dreaming story as a child. Early in Dreamtime, the world was in darkness. The people were asleep.
The three elders who lived in the sky decided to make a big fire for daylight to wake people from their slumber. They begin their work. Soon, the World was filled with light.
The people woke up from hibernation and were happy to see Daylight. The big fire in the sky burns all day long. Then, the fire in the sky begins to die, leaving only the smouldering coals, creating the first sunset.
The three elders knew the people needed light for the daytime. They needed to be woken from sleep to begin the big fire.
The First Alarm Clock
One day, the elders heard the loud laughter of the Kookaburra coming from the bushland. It was decided the Kookaburra raucas laughter would wake them to begin the big fire for the people to have light.
The Kookaburra agreed to the plan and woke up the three Elders as a sign that it was the beginning of a new day. Bugal Wena is the original Kookaburra chosen by the three elders (my Uncles).
While sleeping, I went into the dimension of the three elders. I knew immediately where I was. I saw my three Uncles standing huddled together. They looked blue.
I walked past my three Uncles into a cave that was pitch dark. I heard the voice of Bob Marley singing. I walked out of the cave and past my Uncles. They were sitting down around a campfire, and their colour had returned.
My question. At what point in time did the fire go out?
