I te wa matou e noho ana ki te taha o ta matou nei koroua, ka heke iho ra matou ko taku teina a Whakararangi, me nga kohine tokotoru ki tera atu pito o Taupo moana, ara ake, ki Tokaanu!
Kei te urupa o Piripekapeka ta matou Kuia a Tereinamu e okioki ana. Ko ta matou i reira, e whatoro ana ki a ia, kia noho noa iho, kia maumahara hoki ki a ia me tona ake wairua. Te ahua nei, ka taea te wairua o tena, o tena, o tena - te piki ake, te pumau tonu i nga moemoea o tera kuia!!
heoi ano - ka taaku - kia mihi ake ki a ia!
