It Starts with Raindrops

A lyrical mixture of memoir, myth, and multi-dimensional truth, It Starts with Raindrops invites readers on a journey of remembrance and rebirth. Bridging ancestral memory with cosmic consciousness, Dr Catherine Mary Koerner (Choeying Tsomo) traces her lineage from Orkney's stormy shores to the sacred peaks of the Himalayas, guided by dreams, meditation, and the voices of her grandmothers and spiritual guides, seen and unseen. These pilgrimages are rooted in 30 years of living and working in remote Indigenous Australia, where she was born-Cloncurry, Kalkadu Country-and where she attended school in the Northern Territory and Queensland, and university in Rockhampton, Darrumbal Country, Queensland, and South Australia, Kaurna Country. Through grief, courage, and revelation, she awakens to the law of cosmic love-the unity of masculine and feminine, self and other, past and future. In a world longing for balance, this visionary work offers hope, healing, and a new myth for Earth's awakening.
