Frank is a Nungarai, an Aboriginal healer.
He’d healed my knee after I’d hardly been able to walk on it for months.
A year or so later, and again I’ve been in pain for months – this time with my shoulder.
We meet.
I ask: “when you’ve got time I’d like some healing for my shoulder.”
“You can do it yourself” he retorts.
Startled, I look at him and think: “I’ve been trying to do this for months now, and I’m still in pain”
