hikoi diary: WE ARE BETTER
http://hikoidiary.blogspot.com/2015/05/we-are-better.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Earlier this month two separate and very different incidents took place in Kaitaia that portrayed the best and the worst of our rangatahi. They also brought out and reflected the best and worst amongst the adults of our town. On the same day that assault happened, I was in a local shop when an older woman came in just before it was due to close. Very unsteady on her feet and smelling strongly of alcohol, she struggled to enter her eftpos PIN and pay for her purchases. She reckone...

Wednesday, February 22, 2006. ROI vs. R.O.E. If you'd like you can meander through a bit of history she and I shared with each other a couple of days after the Church Council – some of it personal, others of it scriptural; some of it temporal, much of it spiritual. Back in the early 1980s an ex-public servant, Kara Puketapu. Joined forces with the intuitive arch-strategist, Sir Graham Latimer. In their dealings with us. Here’s a scenario? Withdraw from my bank account twice the dollar value of his ladder...

hikoi diary: RANGATIRA INFLUENCES
http://hikoidiary.blogspot.com/2014/12/rangatira-influences.html
Tuesday, December 09, 2014. I write this sitting in my mother’s home office, a place from which has flowed rangatira influences that have impacted generations of whanau hapu and iwi – none moreso than my own. The results of rangatira influences are matters for reflection at this time of year as we review the past and plan the future. And, because God is the Big Influencer, ko te amorangi ki mua, ko te hapai o ki muri. Is how we begin and end both exercises. Haere e nga mate. H. In 2014 we lost some groun...

hikoi diary: June 2004
http://hikoidiary.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2004. 1959: Mum, me and Dad at a dance in Pawarenga. I was 3. Wednesday, June 30, 2004. Links to this post. He Kupu Whakataki - An Introduction. This blog is going to be about my unfolding memories of my self and family, so I'm starting with my earliest memories, even though I believe that who and what we are at heart is well and truly established before we become conscious of this world. Well - that's my theory anyway. After that, I have no more unfiltered memories. So much for the g...

hikoi diary: MORE THAN MERE SURVIVORS
http://hikoidiary.blogspot.com/2015/04/more-than-mere-survivors.html
Friday, April 03, 2015. MORE THAN MERE SURVIVORS. My father is a fan of Winston Peters. In fact instead of giving the stray cat that turned up a couple of years ago the usual lead between the eyes treatment, he kept and named it Winitana because he reckons that, like its namesake, “it’s a survivor with style.”. However, being on the Maori Roll. My father has never cast a personal vote for the New Zealand First leader. But I think, given the chance, he would have in the recent by-election. Similarly, the ...

hikoi diary: A PILL CALLED PRIDE
http://hikoidiary.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-pill-called-pride.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2015. A PILL CALLED PRIDE. Life inside an iwi provides many reminders to beware of pride. This was a lesson I finally and fully learned in 1975 when, as trainee nurses, my sister and I did a two week Public Health stint in Whangarei. This involved doing outpatient work in people’s homes. Who knew that an amputee could live in such squalor that his stump became a happy home for generations of maggots? Was newly opened and The Grand. In Awanui, we were dazzled. And this is how it happened.

Sunday, August 08, 2004. 1981 - Emil, Solly, Bo, Chriss, me, Ngaire. Sunday, August 08, 2004. Links to this post. Lawrence the First and Second. I went to the Temple. This weekend, which necessitated me driving via the stretch of road between Broadwood and Mangamuka. Would have it I know, but to me it would be sad if they'd lived and died without issue. Was pregnant at the time Laurie died which is why Bo's first name is actually Laurence. His second name, Andrew. Now, how did Laurence Andrew become Bo?

hikoi diary: March 2006
http://hikoidiary.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 30, 2006. Ye are no more strangers and foreigners. I was really touched to read this morning of the eventual death of. An elderly woman, who was hit by a car while crossing an Auckland. Road last week. Now that the life support has been switched off her. Name has been published and, in death, she has lost some of the. Anonymity of a stranger. So why would I be so deeply moved by the fate of this particular. The answer is a very simple and human thing. At the time. Fare well Aihui Wu.
