The Grass so little has to do

The Grass so little has to do -- A Sphere of simple Green -- With only Butterflies to brood And Bees to entertain -- And stir all day to pretty Tunes The Breezes fetch along -- And hold the Sunshine in its lap And bow to everything -- And thread the Dews, all night, like Pearls -- And make itself so fine A Duchess were too common For such a noticing -- And even when it dies -- to pass In Odors so divine -- Like Lowly spices, lain to sleep -- Or Spikenards, perishing -- And then, in Sovereign Barns to dwell -- And dream the Days away, The Grass so little has to do I wish I were a Hay! by Emily Dickinson

Scrooge McDuck in Australia in search of a shiny crocodile egg - The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - Donald Duck and Joey the Kangaroo - Daddy Duck - Australia Day - Duckverse

Yes, I am late, because Australia Day is celebrated on the 26th of January, but for some reason I didn't get to finish it until now. However, since I'm currently in the spirit of Australia, I'm going to publish some drawings of our heroes related to that country.

By the way, Australia Day is celebrated because on that day, in 1788, the first fleet made landfall and raised the British flag under the command of Arthur Phillip and founded Sydney there. Admittedly, the first settlers were prisoners.

The first drawing I drew was related to The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck and the comic "The Dreamtime Duck of the Never-Never", which was the seventh part of the cult album by Don Rosa and tells about Scrooge's trip to Australia and his many misadventures . Scrooge met the highwayman and saved the aborigine from that highwayman. That aborigine is called Jabiru the aborigine and he is a representative of the indigenous people who lived in Australia. Scrooge found a brilliantly decorated egg that was worth a fortune, yet hearing from Jabiru the dream stories, otherwise known as Dreamtales, which were painted in the cave, he gave up on it and moved on in search of greater riches. I drew Scrooge, Jabiru, and a bound highwayman in a cave that was painted with various images that foretell Scrooge's future (you can see the Money Bin and Scrooge's future family members Donald and Huey, Dewey, and Louie). By the way, I used painting motifs as used by Aboriginal people and as used by Don Rosa in his comics, but I combined them in my own ways. Yes, and music related to these drawings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLVPgNjQ5kg

The second drawing is a redraw from the Donald Duck classic short "Daddy Duck" from 1948, directed by Jack Hannah, where Donald adopts a baby kangaroo named Joey the Kangaroo. Although mischievous, that kangaroo still loved his adoptive father Donald, as he loved him, and in my opinion it is one of the few moments (at least as far as Jack Hannah is concerned) where Donald finally had a happy ending. Yes, I drew it, because after all, kangaroos live in Australia.

I hope you like these drawings and these ideas and feel free to like and reblog this! And happy belated Australia Day!

Dreamtime

In Dreamtime, where stories flow, Once we lived dreams, all aglow. But shadows crept, fears took flight, Turning dreams to endless night.

From joyful dreams to tangled fears, Lost in sadness, drowned in tears. Yet in the dark, a spark remains, We must reclaim our dreams' bright lanes.

To dream like kids with hearts so bold, Letting imaginations unfold. From dreams, new ideas arise, Turning dark into sunlit skies.

So let's dream again, hearts unbound, In Dreamtime's dance, where dreams abound. Where creativity shines so bright, And joy returns with morning light.

Little mouse is going to sleep

Little mouse is going to put to sleep. He climbs into his little bed in his little house. It is, already, a night. So, it is a time for a little mouse to sleep. It is a moon behind the window. And stars.

Sky is dark. And everything is so mysterious and interesting. And little mouse is cover himself with blanket. And prepare for sleep. There is a clear air in the streets. Night fresh air. A day was hot and sunny. And night is little cold.  

Little mouse is thinking about a dreams and sleep time. A calm and good dreamtime. Little mouse is shaking with his little tail. Maybe, it will be interesting dream, something. And, maybe, he is, already, dreaming, and see a dream. It is a joke. Not yet.

Little mouse sits comfortable in his little bed. And he hears how calm it is outside. So, all day he was running. And do a good useful things. And have a break, free time too. He spoke with his friends.  Grasshoppers, chicken, duckling, little owl. Mole came to his place as a guest. Hedgehog was running across his place. So, lots of things it was for a day.

And time by time, he checks his blanket. Air is fresh. And he is starting to sleep. And at the sky, stars go light, one by one. Moon is shining. Calm. And little mouse is also going to sleep. And, sometimes, he shakes with his little tail. Little mouse is sleeping in his little house. He has a little house at the tree. With little stairs. So, at last, little mouse is going to put himself into the bed! Little mouse is going to sleep!

A small frog who acted upon a large and greedy desire. Tiddalik's guzzling of all water was an issue to everyone, and thus everyone had to come together to deal with the result of his unchecked drink.

Songs of Creation and Dream Travel

Song Lines Discovering the Dreamtime is a path to encounter ancient dream ways of creation. The Dreamtime is a place beyond time, where the physical world gets dreamed into being. A collective dream in collaboration with the ancient being of the Earth and creation herself. It is a place one may access in dreams if you know the right song, or dance the right dance, know the right story or dream…

Hey don't cry, here's a story about a boy and a puppy thylacine (Kaparunina*) from the people who saw them.

How the Tasmanian Tiger got his stripes.

*Kaparunina is the name of the Tasmanian Tiger in Palawa kani, a reconstructed/composite language created by people of various indigenous tribes of Tasmania.

There is a referral to rape later on in the video, but the actual story stops before that.

Oldest recorded creation myths in the world: 1500 BCE - Hindu creation myth India Created by Brahma, who emerged from the formless chaos and darkness that existed before the beginning. Brahma separated the five elements (earth, water, fire, are, ether) then created living beings, gods, and demons. There was a battle between the gods and demons, which the gods won. The gods then asked Brahma to create humans to worship them as their boon. Humans lacked knowledge when they were created, so Brahma gave them the Vedas so they'd know what rituals to perform. Called the Purusha Sukta Found in the Rigveda

1600 BCE - Eridu Genesis Mesopotamia (incomplete) Created by An, Enlil, Enki, Ninhursag. Enki, the god of wisdom, water, knowledge, crafts, and creation, creates a home for the gods on Earth. Enki sculpts humans from clay and tasks them with serving the gods. Humans multiply and get noisy, annoying the gods. Enki warns Ziusurda to build a boat to save his family, after which, he was gifted eternal life. https://study.com/academy/lesson/eridu-genesis-overview-summary-sumerian-flood-story.html

1300 BCE - Enūma Eliš Mesopotamia Created by Marduk. Tiamat, who embodies chaos and the primordial sea, gives rise to Apsu, the god of groundwater, and Tiamat's consort. They create Lahmu and Lahamu, then they give rise to Anshar and Kishar. Anshar gave rise to Anu (the sky), then Nudimmud (also known as Enki [same as Eridu Genisis] and Ea). They're loud, so Apsu complained to Tiamat and Mummu. Mummu proposed destroying the gods, Tiamat was reluctant. Apsu embraced Mummu. Upon learning about this, Ea created a sleeping spell for Apsu, taking his divinity, then killed him. Apsu's body became the home of the gods. Then Ea and his consort Damkina used Apsu's heart to create Marduk. The other gods complained to Tiamat, and she gathered her forces to attack Ea. Ea heard of Tiamat's plan, though, and sought counsel from Anshar, who advised him to allow Marduk to fight. Marduk defeats Tiamat with a net he was given by Anu, as well as using the seven winds (north, south, east, west, a whirlwind, a cyclone, and Imhullu [the evil wind]), and an arrow. Marduk split Tiamat in two, creating the earth and the sky. Marduk placed the likeness of the gods in the constellations and created a home for Anu, Enlil (the god of wind, air, earth, and storms), and Ea.

3000-1100 BCE - Greek creation myth (from Minoan, Mycenean, and Greek sources) Created by Gaia and Uranus. In the beginning, there was only Nyx, a black-winged bird. She laid an egg that hatched into Eros. Half the shell rose to become the sky and Eros named it Uranus. The other half became the earth, which Eros named Gaia. Eros caused them to fall in love and they had many children, who gave them grandchildren. One child, Kronus, became fearful of the power of the grandchildren, so he swallowed his children, until his wife, Rhea, gave him a rock instead of their last born, Zeus. Zeus killed his father, releasing his siblings, and starting a great war in heaven. The younger generation won, sealing up the older. Zeus's generation set the constellations in Uranus and life on Gaia. Zeus saw that animals and men were missing and told Prometheus and Epimetheus, his sons, to create these creatures, giving each a gift. Prometheus made men and Epimetheus made animals. Epimetheus used all the gifts, so Prometheus gave men fire, angering Zeus. Zeus had Hephaestus create Pandora, who was given a gift from each god, including a jar containing all evils. She is given to Epimetheus, who ignores Prometheus' warnings. Pandora then scatters the evils in her jar, except hope, which is held in by the will of Zeus. https://www.cs.williams.edu/~lindsey/myths/myths_16.html

3100-2686 BCE - Egyptian Creation Myth (Early Dynastic Period) Nu, an infinite, lifeless expanse of water, was all that existed in the beginning. Gradually, a mound of earth called benben emerged and the god Atum appeared on the mound, creating himself by speaking his name. Atum created Shu (air) and Tefnut (moisture). They gave birth to Geb (earth) and Nut (sky). Geb and Nut were lovers, but were separated by Shu, creating space between earth and sky after they gave birth to Osiris (fertility), Isis (motherhood), Set (chaos), and Nephthys (protection). Isis and Osiris gave birth to Horus (the sun). (Exact details vary by location.)

65,000 years ago - Dreamtime Australia The world was created by powerful spiritual beings created the land, sea, and sky. They made mountains, rivers, water holes, rocks, plants, and animals. People were created, given huting tools, land, and totems in their Dreaming, thus the Spirits are the Ancestors from the beginning of time. The Ancestors showed people which places were to be sacred and what rituals to perform and what songs to sing to please the Ancestors. The exact nature of the Ancestors varies from huge snakes to the Wanadjina (cloud and rain spirits).
