#White #Island #Speaks and we #Weep
This is a quote form my book- The Mind Mechanic- that came into my head after hearing of the eruption..
I felt could not be more fitting as we all process this devastation from the eruption of White Island.
"Whatia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me he maunga teitei"
See the treasures you value most dearly,and if you must bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain".
Aroha to all those who weep today.
