About Me

Maori Proverb

Manaaki Whenua,
Manaaki Tangata,
Haere whakamua

Care for the land,
Care for the people,
Go forward.
Porto

Tightly covered.
The ocean touches the shore with a kiss,
Dreams ascend and collapse in unison with the tide,
Soon light will come - To break us apart - Again.
Wiped away as the morning begins,
Always to be found in the moments between.
Always for you...
