Throughout our lives our shedded skin becomes one with Earth Mother’s living skin.
Continual layering of skin on soil imbues this land with ourselves and is strengthened with each generation.
We all are one with this place and each other.
Our collective narratives of here and abroad are like many rivers flowing into one another.
Each story, no matter how old or recent, are each as important as the other.
They form a glistening body of living water we have all had a part in creating.
Through living water and living land beats the heart of us.
We are one with this place we call Wairoa.
