Thought for the day, 23 June 2022

Here's what I reckon.

You can be bitter if you want, or closed. You can complain that this is not your culture, these aren't your ideas. You can tell yourself it's all too trendy, too new, even though it's as old as the cosmos.

Or you can look to the stars and feel the joy, the curiosity, the pleasure of something far bigger than yourself: something that was here before you and will long outlast you. You can imagine your grandchildren, their grandchildren, using this time to look back on what has passed, including you, their cherished ancestor.

Not gonna lie: one's way cooler than the other.

Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori.
