About this listen

The Foundation and the Flame

We often walk into a room acting like we struck the first match, forgetting who laid the foundation and kept the fire burning through the cold [1]. There is a quiet, spiritual debt we owe to the ones who held the line long before we had a garden of our own to tend. Respecting our elders isn't about acknowledging their age; it’s about honoring their endurance [1]. It takes a gentle, disciplined mind to slow down and match the rhythm of someone who has seen it all. You are a link in a long, heavy chain. By honoring the link behind you, you find the strength to hold up the world in front of you.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Audible acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
