The events following the tragic bushfires and floods in Australia have made me think that my people reflect the nature of the land. Both fire and flood are a part of the cycle of life here. Without them, much of our nature wouldn’t be replenished.
Even tucked away in my safe corner of Sydney, I’ve seen the Australian people pull together to fight the fires, to provide aid for strangers affected by fire and flood. Life not only goes on, it is reenergised with sins washed and scourged clean.
