Wenerei 17: A ka noho ahau ki te whare o te Ariki  

“E noho ana i roto i te whare o te Ariki”, he karere e rua mōku.  Ko te whare tuatahi e kitea ana e au he tohutoro ki to tatou kāinga tuatahi i takea mai ai tatou i roto i te hinengaro me nga moemoea o to tatou “Kaihanga”.  Ko taua wāhi tapu kāore he tīmatanga, he mutunga rānei, engari kei te mahi tonu i runga i te ao mure ore.  Kāore he tāpare wā paerangi, ā, ka haere mai tātau, ka haere tahi me ia whitiauau o ngā mea e noho ana i tō tātau wairua mure ore me tō tātau wairua.  Ka tino mārama tēnei ki a koe ina mahi koe me ngā tamariki nohinohi. 

Ko te tamarikitanga he tau whanaketanga e tino kore ai te āhua o tō rātou oranga.  Ka kite rātau i te ao, ka uru ki te ao mai i tō rātou tuakiri atua tūturu.  Kei te tino tūhono tonu rātou ki te “Pūtake” i haere mai ai rātou.  E mōhio ana, e mōhio ana rātou, ā, mō ētahi tamariki, he “pūmahara” ki tō rātou kāinga i te rangi.  E hiahia ana ahau kia whai pūmahara ahau, engari kei a au tēnā āhuatanga mai i te tamarikitanga, ā, kua mau tonu ahau.  Te vai nei i roto i teie « Fare i te Ao » te here rahi e te aroha no to tatou huru taata e ia haapapûhia tatou tata’itahi ia au i to tatou tuatapaparaa e to tatou opuaraa. 

Ko te whare tuarua ko tō tātau tinana tinana e noho ana i tō tātau “wairua” ina mau tātau ki tō tātau āhua tinana.  He nui te mahi me te whakaaro ki te tiaki i tēnei tinana e noho ana i o tātau wairua.  He nui rawa ngā āhuatanga tōraro e pā ana ki tō tātau tinana, engari ki tō tātau wairua hoki.  Me whai kawenga tātau mo te tiaki me te whanaketanga o o tātau tinana tinana me tō tātau whanaketanga wairua.  Ko tātau anake e haepapa ana ki to tātau tupu me to tātau whanaketanga i runga i tēnei rererangi o te whenua. Ko tēnei koha o te ora e whakarato ana i tētahi nohoanga whenua me tētahi wāhi haumaru i te rangi mō tātou ina whakawhiti tātou mai i tēnei ao ki tērā atu. 

Kātahi te āhua nui o te haumarutanga ka taea e tātau te noho me te haere mai i tētahi ahu ki tētahi atu.  We are so blessed to be gifted this life and the knowledge that there is yet more to come, more to learn, and more of us to give .
