I hurangia tēnei kōhatu mauri ki Moutohorā kei Te Moana-a-Toi. Ka whakatō te mauri o te ngahere, o te rākau, o te wai rānei ki roto i tētahi kōhatu, i tētahi mea rānei.
Tuhinga
A tree or a plant, the very fact that it has life, that a rock has life, it has this spirituality about it. It has this mauri and that it is part and parcel of a total environment and that the feelings of a person includes all these things so that in looking at a tree you don't only see a tree but you see a living thing. A living thing which is saying things to its talking, the fact that it is growing that it is sprouting its leaves, it is a living thing and it's talking to you in such a way that you feel something for it. You feel at peace with it. You feel at harmony with it.
