(m)ORPHEUS

22 September – 9 October

“Ko te hau o mihi
E rere ana ki a koutou
Kia whakapiri mai
Kia whakarongo mai

Kia puta ki te whei ao
Ki te ao marama
Tīhei mauri ora!”

This is the breeze of gratitude
That flows unto you all
A call to draw closer
A call to listen

So we may break forth into the world of light
Tst…it is the breath of life!

We are grateful to Heemi Kapa-Kingi
