I lived and worked for many years in Australian First Nation/Indigenous communities - living cultures which have grown in this landscape for upwards of 60,000 years. They, too, have flood stories in their oral creation myths. Not surprising, given the length of time they have been here and the sea level rise they have seen in that time - also the mammoth flood events parts of inland Australia are prone to from time to time.
Oh! Well.... in some respects maybe. Thankyou! My Substack contains quite a few poems, and one or two prose pieces, about my years living and working in the desert. There will be more added soon.
I have always been deeply interested in how landscape influences spirituality, and the sad consequences when we become too removed from the natural world.
Creation myths are extremely informative - an interest you clearly share.
Deeply interesting! Thankyou!
