In Māori thought,
people are part of nature,and mountains and rivers are considered ancestors.
The past stands in front of us,the future behind.
Death is not an end,but a return to the flow.
From an ancient tree at the edge of the North Island,the soul is said to return to the sea.
マオリの感覚では人は自然の一部で、山や川は祖先らしい
過去が前にあって、未来は後ろ。
死は終わりじゃなく
流れに戻ること
北島の端の古い木から魂は海へ返っていくという。
