The birds call, the day begins, and I am alive!

Korihi ake ngā manu, takiri mai te ata.
Ka ao, ka ao, ka awatea — tīhei mauri ora!

Two huia take flight into the soft light of a new dawn.

The dawn chorus has always been a signal that the world is beginning again. Whatever yesterday held, today is fresh and new.

Tūmanako means hope — a daily reminder that the birds still sing, the sun still rises, and every morning brings with it the chance to begin again.

For a graduation, a wedding, or any moment when someone is stepping into something new. A print that says the best is still ahead.

From a Te Arawa karakia, a prayer to shorten the night and bring daylight quickly, first published in George Grey's Ko ngā mōteatea in 1853.
