Well, I haven't written a blog for a long time!
How are you all?
A friend of mine (who is a New Zealander) sent me this beautiful blessing today:
Ma te atua e manaaki ki a koutou me o koutou whanaui, e tiaki,
Kia hora te marino,
Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana,
Kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tō huarahi.
May God bless and protect you and your family,
May peace be widespread,
May the sea glisten like greenstone,
And may its shimmering light guide you.
Sophie
