Maori Unpacked, 24, The Negative Tee

24

The negative Tee

Te urunga tee whakaara
The pillow from which one never wakes

Make a sign with this on it and place it outside the cemetery, the urupa, in your Village of the Mind, your Kaainga Hinengaro

Now might be a good time to look around the room and summarise the negatives

Why don't you make a mobile for each negative with the positive sentence on the front of the mobile and the negative on the back

Hei Tauira, For Example

Ka haere au ki te whare
I go to the house
on the front
and
Kaaore au i te haere ki te whare
I do not go to the house
on the back.
