Quest for the West
I spent many days and months in the latter part of 2019 and early 2020 or 'life-before-the-pandemic' refining my plans to leave Australia for Europe, Asia and South America on a journey of discovery weaving a trail between kindred in spiritual communities.
Then the global catastrophe struck, and like billions, my plans changed from March 2020 onwards. Thankfully, the sirens of Bribie Island north-east of Brisbane sang me in, and I established a delightful sanctuary there for fifteen months. Bribie's graciousness cast a safety net over me, and her natural beauty wove a mystical spell that delighted my senses and enriched my heart and soul.
Overseas travel is now out of the question for me, yet it is time to explore a new area that's been calling me since January this year. As a Wanderer, I always follow The Call whenever possible, so I've entirely lightened up by giving away my belongings save the necessities, and now I'm packing for the West.
I'll be saying goodbye to my island home and Eastern Australia in June to drive inland along the Newell Highway to Naranderra, then on to Adelaide, where Paul will fly in from Melbourne on the Solstice to join me for the last part of my 5000-kilometre trip. It's such a vast distance, and not only do I imagine the incredible views of endless skies and diverse landscapes, I think of the many people I may be able to help with my homespun common sense. As always on my spiritual pilgrimages, I'm most excited about my conversations with God and my Guides along The Way.
It's so thoughtful of Paul to drive me to my new life in the West. I'm excited about our 2727 kilometre 'Mother and Son Adventure' from Adelaide across the Nullarbor Plain, famously known as the longest stretch of straight road in the world, to Perth, famously known as the most remote capital city on Earth. This is Noongar Country. In Aboriginal Culture, Noongar means the 'original inhabitants of the south-west of Western Australia'. This is the region that's been calling me, and while I'm aware of my motives, I'm most eager to discover the hidden reasons.
Moving West is highly appropriate for my final chapter of life. In Native American tradition, the West signifies the setting sun on a life. To the West, the sun sets, and the day ends. For this reason, West signifies the end of life, and I intend to make this closure as conscious and as marvellous as possible with whatever time I have left.
My journey will be comparable distance-wise to driving across the USA from Philadelphia to Dallas to Los Angeles or in Europe from Russia to Greece to Portugal, except with many fewer borders, landmarks, languages and cultures. I envision it as a quest for continuing freedom, well-being, laughter, creativity, purpose, learning, sharing, connection with kin and honouring Country.
Nomads, adventurers, sages, mystics, shamans, traditional indigenous people, and regular modern-day Wanderers travel with a thirst for discovering Super Consciousness and understanding diverse peoples and places on this paradisiacal planet. I also hope to contact some of the Cosmic Wanderers who are in service to our evolving humanity at this pivotal time.
'On the Wallaby' is Aussie slang for wandering where the work is or responding to a subtle intuitive calling. I happily take my inspiration from Wanderers like the wallaby and sages such as Lao Tzu, who, tired of the everyday drama, travelled in his solitude in trust and going with the flow while taking the path less travelled.
