Caress and Cultivate the Child of Peace
We are all creatures of Tane Mahuta, the god of the birds, the insects, the forests and the men of the earth. We all come from the red earth from which the first woman was created. But while there are children who are correct and generous under the sun, others lie in wait and feed on hatred and lamentations in the dark.
We are all creatures of Tane Mahuta and we follow Rongo Marae Roa, the goddess of peace. Remember that our ancestors came from different peoples. The skin of some was dark; of others, yellow or white. During many generations, Atea, the current of life, ruled and the world of the light was entrusted to us. Then Po Kerere, the night, descended upon us and covered all with darkness. You are now the children of a new people. Take care of one another. Follow the path of love. Caress and cultívate the Child of Peace.
