The wuri gives heat and life. It’s bright, it’s shining it makes you hot.
It comes out often. Everyday it stays out until the djedjung goes in. It
shines right on you.
Kaiyoong ngarrawannya feels like sand rushing over my feet it sounds like it’s crashing.
kundunya teaches me to breathe and relax.
Boonirahnya feels soft and caring and gentle.
Flames getting bigger and bigger, crackle! Gambinya spreads.

The sun gives heat and life. It’s bright, it’s shining it makes you hot.
It comes out often. Everyday it stays out until the moon goes in. It
shines right on you.
The ocean feels like sand rushing over my feet it sounds like it’s crashing.
The tree teaches me to breathe and relax.
The wind feels soft and caring and gentle.
Flames getting bigger and bigger, crackle! The fire spreads.
