The Flight of the Kingfisher by Monica Furlong
This portrait was drawn by Monica Furlong after she spent six months living amongst the aboriginal people of the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia. The Kukatja live unselfconsciously in their natural environment virtually untouched by white influence, believing that the land does not belong to them but that they belong to the land. This is an exploration of their feelings, hopes, fears and most importantly, their spiritual beliefs - once scorned by Christian missionaries but now viewed with less scepticism because of their sense of the sacredness of the land.Monica Furlong has written biographies of Thomas Merton, Alan Watts and Thérèse of Lisieux, and a book about contemplatiive prayer. She has also published five novels, three of them for children.
