Instinctively grabbing it, I ran into the manor,
jumped into the shower and stood under the warm
steamy water for a very long time. My mind just kept
racing. Somehow this experience had triggered some
very deep and frightening feelings. How could such a
hopeless event be affected by a karakia?
A prayer, that came from somewhere way beyond
my understanding or known to my conscious mind.
How did I know what to say? And what indeed was I
saying? And how did it create a physical change that

saved my life? Too many unknown questions for a
scientist’s mind to handle! All I could think was I must
get out of this place as soon as I can. Frantically I started
throwing my clothes into my suitcase.
At this point I hadn’t shared what had happened
with anyone and I definitely must have looked like a
really crazy person.

Calmly, Aroha asked me if my sudden need to leave
was because of what happened when I was picking the
berries.

I just scuffed it off and said that I was sorry I hadn’t
had a chance to get the berries … it just turned out to be
a very crazy day. But how did she know?

Then she laid the bombshell on me that the berries
were downstairs; Nana Grace had given them to her.
