Uluru is Australia's heart.
It is significant that the Uluru Statement of the Aboriginal people was called a Statement from the Heart.
In this statement the Aboriginal people are appealing to Australians to give them a voice, a treaty, and the truth in an endeavor to heal our nation.
It is a bit worrying, however, that Uluru is a rock.
Perhaps this is a warning not to harden our hearts.
A rock, however, is also a symbol of steadfast love.
So when people call Uluru Australia's heart they are appealing to our hearts - to show loving kindness to people - not just to Aboriginal people but to everyone.
