I a mātou heMīhini Porowhitai ētahi marama kua pahure ake nei, nui atu te raruraru i pā mai ki a mātou i tēnei wā. Ehara i te mea nā te mea kua pakaru tetahi mea—engari kāore e pai te āhua o te papanga.

I tukuna mai e te kiritaki tā rātou tauira miro me te pepa whakaritenga. He pai te āhua o ngā mea katoa i runga i te pepa. Engari i te wā i whakahaerehia ai e mātou te whakamātautau tuatahi, he iti noa te koretake o te mata o te papanga. Kāore i te nui hei ārai i te tirotiro, engari he nui hei kite i raro i te mārama pai. Ko te nuinga pea o te iwi kua tukuna atu. Kāore mātou i pena.

Nō reira i whakawhitihia e mātou te miro, ā, i whiria anō. Kei reira tonu.

Kātahi ka tangohia e mātou tētahi atu puranga mai i tā mātou ake taonga—he rite tonu te maha, he rerekē te kaiwhakarato. I paku pai ake, engari kāore i te tino rerekē. I taua wā, e rua o ā mātou tohunga hangarau e tū noa ana i reira e titiro ana ki te mīhini, e ngana ana ki te rapu i te mea i ngaro i a mātou.

E toru ngā wā i whakatikatikaina ai e mātou te wā i runga i taua Mīhini Porowhita. I ia wā, he pai te āhua mō ētahi mita, kātahi ka hoki mai anō taua āhua ngoikore. I tae mai tētahi o ā mātou tama matua—kua neke atu i te rua tekau tau ia e mahi ana i tēnei—i te Rāhoroi nā te mea he raruraru ki a ia. I mauria mai e ia tana ake loupe, ā, i tū noa ia i reira e mātakitaki ana i te pānga o ngā ngira.

I te mutunga iho, ehara i te mīhini. He rerekē te miro o te miro mai i te kōne ki te kōne. Tata ki te wiki te roa ki te whakatau i tēnā. I hoki mātou ki te kaihoko, i whakamārama atu, i tukuna mai he puranga hou, ā, i te mutunga ka puta mai te papanga i te āhua i tika ai.

TeMīhini RakaI tukuna e mātou i taua wā anō, he raruraru anō tōna. He raruraru rerekē—i muri i ētahi haora, ka tīmata te rerekētanga o te tuitui ki te neke haere. E rua ngā wā i hoki mai ai tā mātou kaimahi whakatikatika ki te tirotiro anō i te teitei o te tuitui. I kī tonu ia "kei roto i ngā whakaritenga," engari i kitea anō kāore ia i tino whakapono.

Nō reira i tangohia e mātou te wāhanga kāmera, i horoia ngā mea katoa, ā, i tāuta anō ki tētahi huinga ngira hou hei tino mōhio.

I te wā i mate ai ngā mīhini e rua, ki taku whakaaro e rima ngā tāngata kua tirotiro i a rāua. He nui rawa pea. Engari kāore tetahi i hiahia kia waiho hei tangata e tuku ana i tētahi mea kāore i te tika.

I ētahi wā ka whakaaro ahau mēnā he nui rawa te wā e pau ana i a tātou ki tēnei momo mea. Engari anō, i ia wā i tere ai tā tātou mahi i mua, ka hoki mai anō i muri mai.

Nā, ka tirohia anōtia e tātou. Whakawhitihia anō te miro. Whakatikatikahia anō te wā. Karangahia anō tetahi mēnā e tika ana. He puhoi ake, ae. Engari i te iti rawa ina wehe atu tetahi mea i konei, e mōhio ana tātou ki tā tātou e tuku atu ana.
