07/01/24 • 9 min

Nayuka Gorrie shares a reflective story from interactions between the sun and moon, to stars Ancestors have seen and descendants will see; to sensory observations from the warmth of a fire built by their family, to the sounds of birds chirping, frogs croaking and insects humming.

Nayuka Gorrie is a Gunai/Kurnai, Gunditjmara, Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta freelance and comedy television writer. Their writing centres on Black, feminist and queer politics.

Hello. My favorite thing to do is to walk while the sun is going down. It feels like watching two old and familiar friends, the sun and the moon, interact with each other. Sometimes I imagine the moon entering the room just as the sun is about to leave, but before the sun does, they spot each other and give each other a wave. I imagine the sun laying down for a rest and telling the moon, it's your turn now.
