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.

                                                                         104
