Inspired by spiritual thinkers and sages from around the world, Grant finds connections with Plato, Saint Augustine, Isaac Newton, jazz saxophonist John Coltrane, Saint Teresa of Avila, Simone Weil, among others. Murriyang is a Wiradjuri prayer in one long uninterrupted breath, challenging Western notions of linear, historical time in favour of Indigenous concepts of deep, circular time - the Dreaming. Murriyang is also very personal, each meditation interleaved with a memory of Grant's father - a Wiradjuri cultural leader - and asking how any of us can say goodbye to those we love. It is a book for our current moment, and something for the ages.
