Day 37 of 50: Today, I am inspired by Maisey Rika, Māori and Samoan composer, and her song, “Tangaroa Whakamautai.”
Listening to “Tangaroa Whakamautai,” I can feel the cool waters of the tide lapping at my feet. I’m awash with gratitude as I breathe in deeply, welcoming both grace and serenity into my core, deep within my bones. How can I return this gift, this feeling of being fully alive? What treasure do I have that I can gift to Mother Earth to reciprocate Her love?
