‘Make me a Mountain’ is almost spell-like in the way it aims to help us remember our most pure, natural essence inside.

Written by writer, poet and intuitive practitioner Aliesha Bannister, this printed piece is mounted in a stunning clear glass frame, with gold-coloured edging. It will stand proudly on a flat surface.

 

Poem reads:

 

i want to feel so rawly alive that i become the same as the Earth, the same as the animals, and one with the trees. i want to become the bones of the dead and at the same time know i am also the powerful beating heart of wild horses running free across open plains and impossible rocky mountains.

 

i want to be fire and water, all at once. i want to move like wind and nurture like dirt. the caves, the lakes, the swamps… i am all of it. the weeds, that no-one wants and nobody planted, growing through barely visible cracks in concrete and mortar – please – let me know that degree of unapologetic self-expression and life force essence.

 

i want to feel the oneness. i want to know its knowing and see its seeing. i want to know stillness, and emit force. i want to turn myself inside out to discover, finally, that pure, glorious truth hidden inside – the light that unites us all.

    I stand with these communities:

    Inclusive image of the Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, LGBTQIA+, Trans, Non-Binary and Palestinian flags.

    I deeply value inclusion & accessibility, and am committed to showing up for those values in practical and emotional ways, in both a personal and professional capacity.

    I, Aliesha Bannister, acknowledge that I live and work on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation — sacred Country that continues to offer healing, vision, grounding, and inspiration. I honour the Wurundjeri people as the Traditional Custodians of this land, and pay deep respect to their Elders — past and present — as well as all knowledge holders. 

     

    For over 65,000 years, Aboriginal peoples have cared for these lands, waterways, and skies through deep, reciprocal relationship. This connection was never ceded. I stand with First Nations peoples in their ongoing fight for justice, recognition, and sovereignty. I am guided and inspired by the wisdom, culture, and spirit that continues to flow through Country, and I long for a future where this knowledge is not only respected, but re-centered in the collective life of this place. 

     

    Always was, always will be — Aboriginal land.
