Floating

The Milky Way rises above the Bogey Hole in Newcastle, Australia

Adrift in a sea of emptiness
In the darkest of night
Nothing
Above
Nothing
Below
Yet
Everything
Everywhere
A thousand billion lights above
Worlds of deep unknown below
And all around a gentle thunder
Lulling me to serenity

In the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians and the lands of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples on which I took this photo. I also acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Elders past and present, and celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to country.
