Pillars of the earth




 I walk past this mural most days just inside the gates of one of our local primary schools and finally got a decent photo. I haven't been able to work out who painted this one but it depicts the sun rising over the land the some of the Maori words say: "Where is the pillar of the earth", "The pillar of acceptance is the earth", "The mountain is dark" and "Who longs for the river". 

Linking up with Mural Monday.

The spiral in the wave is a very Maori motif — it’s wonderful to see it in this context. As I understand the spiral, the origin is the opening frond of the fern. Beautiful mural!

I love all of this ....the beautiful art, the messages which I can really relate to, and that you translated them for us. Thank you! (And the last saying is motivating me to go outside right now and walk to our river.]
