MEMENTO MORI: TORRES STRAIT ISLANDERS

Time passes in moments... moments which, rushing past define the path of a life just as surely as they lead towards its end. 

How rarely do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen, to consider whether the path we take in life is our own making or simply one into which we drift with eyes closed.

But what if we could stop, pause to take stock of each precious moment before it passes? Might we then see the endless forks in the road that have shaped a life? And, seeing those choices, choose another path?

Dana Scully, All Things, The X Files


The Poppins continue in Australia. Today, they’ve visited the Australian ancestors’ cultures and have listened to their stories with emotion. The Grandma has thought about her friend, Dana Scully, who did an interesting reflexion about time and second chances in life.


 We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. 
Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… 
and then we return home.
