Kia Horo Te Marino

May calm spread all around you, May the sea glisten like greenstone, and the Shimmer of summer dance across your path.

 - Kia horo te marino, Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, Kia tere karohirohi i mua i to huarahi.

The koru arches are protective arms for the special words of this karakia. The kowhaiwhai patterns the connection between people who care for each other, no matter how far apart they might be in both life and in spirit. Tui play the role of guardians too. Soaring above they share love and aroha as they fly. This art print is about the love and abundance of blessings that surround you - A heartfelt wish for your life's journey, and a reminder of lasting connections.
