Learning to Step into Our Legacy
Whakarongo ki ā rātou Karere!
He ngāwari noa iho tēnei ki te wāhi me hoki whakamuri tātou me te maumahara ki ngā mea i akona mai e ō tātou tīpuna ki a tātau, tērā pea ka āwhina i a tātau i tēnei ao raruraru, pōturi hoki. E hiahiatia ana e tātau to rātau whakaaro nui ki te whakatere i te ngangau me te kino hāngai e mahia ana ki te tangata puta noa i tēnei aorangi. Ko tēnei aorangi i whakaritea hei tuku mai i tētahi oranga ātaahua ki a tātau ki ngā mea katoa e taea ana e tātau te whakaaro ko wai tātau hei atua me ngā mea tapu. E rongo ana ahau i o rātau reo i roto i aku moemoeā i te pō. E rongo ana ahau i to rātau aroaro e karapoti ana i a au me te aroha tōtika e whakamāoritia ana ki te maumahara ehara ahau i te mea ko au anake, ā, kei te tiakina ahau. Me tuwhera hoki koe ki to rātau whakaaro nui me to rātau tiaki. He whakaaturanga rātau mo to tātau oranga mure ore.
Kua hōhonutia rātou ki roto i tō rātou hongere o te mōhiotanga me te koha o te “kitenga” e āhei ai rātou ki te kite i roto i te arai ki te tauwhitiwhiti i roto i tō tātou oranga. Kaua e tango noa iho i tēnei, kaua rānei e ākiri i te pono o tō rātou aroaro i roto i tō oranga. Rapua te pono i ngā wā katoa. Kei a koe ngā mana me ngā koha kāore anō koe kia tīmata ki te pato nā te mea kāore koe i te aro atu. E ai ki a Curtis Burrell i tuhituhi i roto i tana Negro Spiritual- (me taku whakahua-) “Kāore au i te Rongo i te Kore Ara Ngenge”, noho i roto i ēnei kupu me te whakaora i te uho o te whāinga o tō wairua me te mōhio kua tae mai koe i tēnei wā i roto i te aroha me te aroha mai i ngā taha e rua o te arai.
“Kaua e Rongo Kaua e Ngenge”
Kāore au i te rongo i te ngenge,
Kua tawhiti rawa ahau i te wāhi i tīmata ai ahau,
Kaore tētahi tangata i kī mai ki a au he ngāwari noa iho te huarahi,
Kaore au e whakapono i kawea mai ahau e ia ki tenei tawhiti ki te whakarere i ahau!
Kaore au e whakapono i kawea mai ahau e ia ki tenei tawhiti, ka waiho ahau inaianei!
Kua mate ahau, engari i kawea mai ahau e te Atua -Nāna ahau i kawe mai ki tēnei tawhiti,
Kua raruraru ahau, engari i kawea mai ahau e te Atua, nāna ahau i kawe mai ki tēnei tawhiti,
Kua kore ahau e hoa, engari i kawea mai ahau e te Atua, nāna ahau i kawe mai ki tēnei tawhiti,
Kua mokemoke ahau, engari i kawea mai ahau e te Atua, nāna ahau i kawe mai ki tēnei tawhiti,
Kaore au e whakapono i kawea mai ahau e ia ki tenei tawhiti, ka waiho ahau inaianei!
Ka kite koe i ngā raruraru o te ao, engari ka maumahara tonu koe kua kawea mai koe e te Atua ki tēnei tawhiti, ahakoa he aha tēnei ara pōhēhē, waipiro tonu, huri tonu tēnei ao- Whakapono nā te Atua koe i kawe mai i tēnei tawhiti, ā, e kore rawa koe e whakarere.
Kia mau tonu to Rangimarie me to Koa no te mea kei te pai nga mea katoa ki to wairua.
