⨠Hiwa-i-te-Rangi āØ
The star of aspirations.
~
My beautiful whakapapa is MÄori, I now have the privilege of living, working, and holding ceremony on the beautiful lands of the Nauo and Barngarla Peoples here on the Eyre Peninsula. This wild coast.
~
As I look up to Matariki, I know I am looking at the same stars my ancestors looked to across Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa.
I have my kuia, my mama in heart as I honour those in wairua.
They remind me that no matter where we are in the world, we remain connected through the sky, our whakapapa, and our shared humanity.
~
Hiwa-i-te-Rangi is the star of hopes, dreams, and aspirations. She gently asks us:
⨠What do you wish to grow?
⨠What are you ready to step into?
⨠What legacy do you want to leave for those who come after you?
~
Matariki invites us to remember those who have gone before us, to give thanks for the abundance in our lives, and to look ahead with intention and purpose.
~
Tonight, I send my aspirations to Hiwa-i-te-Rangi with gratitudeāfor my whÄnau, for the communities I am honoured to walk alongside, and for the privilege of living on Nauo and Barngarla Country.
~
May we all have the courage to dream boldly, walk gently, and live with aroha.
MÄnawatia a Matariki. āØ
