Another upward step! A upane kaupane whiti te ra! An upward step, another.. the Sun shines!! Hi !!! Hmmm...I was thinking of sucking a jube while writing this . Pyretta, somehow I think this is fitting, the battle of life and death, and the reaching for the sun, with another upward step. My love and thoughts are with you dearest Pyretta. Have strength, one step at a time towards your sun. Love Cheryl in NZ _________________________________________________________________ Need more speed?

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi Cheryl, Wow- thanks for that- I've always wanted to know what it meant. The haka is always so stirring, I love it when the All Blacks perform it- it comes from the guts and really means business. What's the thing about the hairy man though?? For some strange reason, both the Haka and ish marching bands do the same thing for me. I know, I'm weird- and all this from a half-Latvian (maybe I have some Kiwi in me, I know there's some ish way back on my mum's side...)
