Hokia ki tō maunga kia purea ai koe e ngā hau a Tāwhirimātea
Return to your mountain to be cleansed by the winds of Tāwhirimātea

Wow!! Kei te tino pupuhi te hau i te kainga nei! Arrived home in Taranaki last night (Sun) and wow – there’s a storm blowing through…Now staying at the marae out the coast at cousin Jason’s and Rahera’s house and yep we’ve definitely come home to be cleansed by the winds of Tāwhirimātea!! The power has just gone out so we’re sitting in the dark having a sing song while we wait for Rahera’s yummy curry for kai.
It’s times like this where you are just in awe of the elements, Tāwhirimātea has been blowing a gale all day and as much as we’ve been blown around – literally, it’s good to just stand in that wind and feel the strength and power…makes you feel so alive and free and powerless at the same time…
Its so nice to be home again, ahakoa ngā āhuatanga a Tāwhirimātea – cleansing for my wairua, for my spirit…
Arohanui,
