A layer of the floor seemed to melt away and the
warm ground seemed to embrace me as Miss Grace’s
hypnotic voice continued …
“These carvings on this wall are our ancestors, our
loved ones who are still with us in spirit. They come in
to guide us when we call them, and most importantly,
to be the link, the connection between this world and
the spirit world. Beneath the timber of the floor is
Nuku. She is the Nature spirit of our beautiful Earth
home. We live on her domain and this is captured by
the term Papa-tu-a-Nuku - the Domain of Nuku. She
provides us with all that we need to shelter, feed and
nurture ourselves."
“By closely observing life in all its forms we learn
how Nature works. There is a time to harvest; there is a
time to regenerate. Nature knows. You do not exist
separate from that which is here. There is no fence
between me and all my grandmothers, between me and
Rangi. He is the spirit of light and sound. He lights up
and resonates throughout the universe. He is the song
in your voice, he is the light in your eyes. He is the
radiance that shines through you. You my dear
grandchild, Kura, are part of this as your father was
before you. “
I was too exhausted to respond
and fell into a deep peaceful sleep.
