Kia Hora te Marino - May calm spread all aroud you

May calm spread all around you,

May the sea glisten like greenstone, and the

Shimmer of summer dance across your path.

- Kia hora te marino, Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, Kia tere kārohirohi i mua i tō huarahi.

This print carries the words of a traditional karakia, one of the most loved in Aotearoa. It calls for the sea to be as greenstone, and for the shimmer of summer light to dance across your path. A blessings for peace, clarity, warmth and beauty to surround you. Koru are protection, kōwhaiwhai patterns weave connection through the image, and tui fly above carrying aroha.

A farewell karakia, this print is for someone beginning a new chapter, or for anyone you want to remind that calm, beauty and connection are always within reach.

This karakia is said to be by Rangawhenua Tawhaki
