Going back to my roots is always confronting because its so different from the culture I live in Canberra. Weather was agreeable to say the least and swimming in lake Alexander second only to Edith Falls. I'm finding that water is the mainstay of my life in more ways than one and talked in depth with Brus Scattini about how I feel that Katherine water has weight, a smooth silkiness and feels just right right for me in a nourishing way. I thought he would just laugh at my description of what I find each time I go back to my home town but he just listen and said well you are on to something because Katherine water has the exact PH levels of the body. Katherine water is mixed with river and bore water and that's why it is unique. The way it is mixed is not done anywhere else apparently. I have actually seen the water treatment plan in Katherine and was intrigued by it in the 90s. Ive asked people to bring the water in bottle to me but it doesn't have the same effect. Like it has to be free and running wild that gives it that certain umpff.
Also confronting was the woman I saw who had syphilis all around her mouth going into her nose and eating away at the lower lid of her eye. I still cant get the image out of my head.
On the up and up though was a group of indigenous traditional people with Down Syndrome out shopping in a group holding hands and caring about everyone which was a real joy. In my 50 odd years I have never seen this syndrome in the community and that means times are changing for the better.
