Today I visited a school in Murihiku where I spoke to a class about the importance of 'us' having a balanced life. I used the Māori model developed by Mason Durie, that is, the Whare Tapawha.
This 'model' talks about our Taha Wairua (Spiritual Side), Taha Tinana (Physical Side), Taha Whanau (Importance of family) and Taha Hinengaro (Brain /Knowledge Side.
Well, I got home and thought about my 'messages' to the children and decided I would go for a walk - to bring my Taha Wairua up a bit.
What a lovely walk. Apart from warming up my body (good for blood flow!) I saw a person 'working' his or her 7 (seven) dogs! Birds were singing, and best of all I picked up a beautiful collection of feathers.
So, Room 6, I walked the talk!
