Whiti mai rā, whiti mai rā. He rā hou, he roro tawhito. Me he rangi, he roro e tahanga ana, kāore he kapua e tirohia. Tērā pea, e haere mai ana he marangai i te tahatū o te rangi, engari, waihotia mō taua wā. Ko te whāinga tuatahi he rongo i te mahana o ngā hihi. Ko te whāinga tuarua he hā. Mā ēnei, e taea ana te ara tika te rongo, te titiro. Mā ēnei, e mōhiotia au anō. Mā tēnei, āwhea ka heke mai te marangai, nōku he maru whakahirahira ahakoa i te ua.
Kei tua atu i te ārai ōku tūpuna. Kei reira he mea anō? Kei reira ōku moemoeā i ngaro atu? Kei reira te awa o ōku roimata? He aha te mea e hono ana i waenga i reira ki konei? Ko te ngākau, ko te toto, ko te wairua, ko te maumaharatanga rānei? A, kōkēi taua wā? Mā pēhea tātou e tae atu ki reira? Mā te whakaaro, mā te aroha, mā te moemoeā? Mehemea te mauri kotahi e rere ana i te ao tukupū, ehara “kōkēi” me “konei” he kupu e tika ana; ko ngā kupu ko “āhuatanga” me “taha” ke… Waihoki, pēnei te ao katoa. Ehara te ērai e huna ana i te ao mate noa iho, he ārai i te ao mārama hoki. He ārai rerekē pea, engari, e rite ana te mahi, te kaha hoki.
