Relationships show the variables constantly affecting each other.</p><p>“A wombat is in a hollow log, and we have to decide whether it is alive or dead. However, because the log is not an enclosed system, we are aware of the thousands of exchanges of energy, matter and information between the log and the surrounding country. We see what the insects are doing, the fungi on the log and surrounding trees, how the wombat behaves in that particular season. We see its fresh scat on a nearby rock. We feel the wind direction and the recent tracks that tell us about the animal&#x27;s behaviour and condition. We see no sign of recent snake activity (although you&#x27;re never more than ten metres away from a snake in the bush). We see a thousand things and know that the wombat is alive and inside the log. We see this because we are not only thinking about the log and what might be inside. Rather, we are an integral part of the dynamic system of that country, which is observing itself through our relationship. So we share in the exchange of energy and information in that system and are therefore not intervening in the system from the outside”</p><p>anyway, the emu story that got me excited was called<br>Stars tell Mutthi Mutthi people went to collect emu eggs<br>and it’s in the story section headed Emu in the sky</p><p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/deeptime/tell-me-a-story/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.abc.net.au/news/deeptime/tell-me-a-story/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.abc.net.au/news/deeptime/t</span><span class="invisible">ell-me-a-story/</span></a></p>
