Tena Koutou Whanau
Pehea to kanikani, to korero Maori ranei inanahi? How did your dancing and korero Maori go yesterday? Kei te pai if you didn't get a chance to try, hopefully today's whakatauki might help. Whakatauki are proverbs that have been passed down for the use and benefit of future generations.
In the book, Aroha by Dr Hinemoa Elder, I found this whakatauki. Ara, anei te whakatauki mo tenei wiki - Tūwhitia te hopo! That's it, nice and simple. Translated it means "Banish your fears! or in other words, Feel the fear and do it anyway! We all know what it is like to not try something new in case we fail or embarass ourselve. This whakatauki is encouraging us this week to be brave. Whether it is learning to speak or sing in Te Reo, or another language. It may be the courage to learn a new skill/sport or even being brave enough to raise your hand in your Google Meet to ask a question.
Tūwhitia te hopo this week whanau! Ma te waa
