24.01.2022 Tell them... #maketheirday

19.01.2022 "I would encourage us to try our best to develop courage. It's the most important of all the virtues, because without courage, you can't practice any other virt...ue consistently. You can be anything erratically -- kind, fair, true, generous, all that. But to be that thing time after time, you need courage. We need to develop courage, and we need to develop it in small ways first. Because we wouldn't go and say, 'I'll pick up this 100-pound weight' without knowing our capacity. So we need to say, 'Oh, I'll start by picking up a five-pound weight, then a 10-pound weight, then a 25-pound, and sooner or later I'll be able to pick up a 100-pound weight.' And I think that's true with courage. You develop a little courage, so that if you decide, 'I will not stay in rooms where women are belittled; I will not stay in company where races, no matter who they are, are belittled; I will not take it; I will not sit around and accept dehumanizing other human beings' -- if you decide to do that in small ways, and you continue to do it -- finally you realize you've got so much courage. Imagine it -- you've got so much courage that people want to be around you. They get a feeling that they will be protected in your company." -- Maya Angelou For books for children and teens about the importance of standing up for others, regardless of the differences between them, visit our blog post "60 Mighty Girl Books About Standing Up for Others at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=13481 For hundreds of children's books that explore racism and prejudice in both modern and historical contexts, visit our "Racial & Ethnic Discrimination" book section at http://amgrl.co/2wE6Jbl For an excellent book to help kids learn how to stand up for themselves and others in a positive, productive manner, we recommend "Stand Up for Yourself and Your Friends" for ages 7 to 12 at https://www.amightygirl.com/stand-up-for-yourself-and-your- And, for a youth-friendly introduction to Maya Angelou's extraordinary work, we highly recommend Poetry for Young People: Maya Angelou for readers 8 to 15 at https://www.amightygirl.com/poetry-maya-angelou -- or you can introduce young people to this masterful poet and author with the stunning new book "Rise!

12.01.2022 For those of us educating children at home, a timely reminder...

12.01.2022 This poem was written by writer and poet Nadine Anne Hura and shared by Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand. Sorry for the earlier mistake. Rest ...now, e Papatnuku ( Mother Earth ) Breathe easy and settle Right here where you are We’ll not move upon you For awhile We’ll stop, we’ll cease We’ll slow down and stay home Draw each other close and be kind Kinder than we’ve ever been. I wish we could say we were doing it for you as much as ourselves But hei aha We’re doing it anyway It’s right. It’s time. Time to return Time to remember Time to listen and forgive Time to withhold judgment Time to cry Time to think About others Remove our shoes Press hands to soil Sift grains between fingers Gentle palms Time to plant Time to wait Time to notice To whom we belong For now it’s just you And the wind And the forests and the oceans and the sky full of rain Finally, it’s raining! Ka turuturu te wai kamo o Rangi ki runga i a koe ( Maori phrase meaning - tears from the eyes of Ranginui drip down on you Ranginui is our sky father, it is common to refer to rain as the tears of Rangi for his beloved, from whom he was separated at the beginning of time in order that there could be light in the world). Embrace it This sacrifice of solitude we have carved out for you He iti noaiho - a small offering which is a treasure People always said it wasn’t possible To ground flights and stay home and stop our habits of consumption But it was It always was. We were just afraid of how much it was going to hurt - and it IS hurting and it will hurt and continue to hurt But not as much as you have been hurt. So be still now Wrap your hills around our absence Loosen the concrete belt cinched tight at your waist - Rest. - Breathe. - Recover. - Heal And we will do the same. envision a time very soon when all world leaders will lead with as much heart and soul as this woman. Papatnuku = Mother Earth in Maori Rest now, e Papatnuku Breathe easy and settle Right here where you are We’ll not move upon you For awhile We’ll stop, we’ll cease We’ll slow down and stay home Draw each other close and be kind Kinder than we’ve ever been. I wish we could say we were doing it for you as much as ourselves But hei aha We’re doing it anyway It’s right. It’s time. Time to return Time to remember Time to listen and forgive Time to withhold judgment Time to cry Time to think About others Remove our shoes Press hands to soil Sift grains between fingers Gentle palms Time to plant Time to wait Time to notice To whom we belong For now it’s just you And the wind And the forests and the oceans and the sky full of rain Finally, it’s raining! Ka turuturu te wai kamo o Rangi ki runga i a koe Embrace it This sacrifice of solitude we have carved out for you He iti noaiho - a small offering People always said it wasn’t possible To ground flights and stay home and stop our habits of consumption But it was It always was. We were just afraid of how much it was going to hurt - and it IS hurting and it will hurt and continue to hurt But not as much as you have been hurt. So be still now Wrap your hills around our absence Loosen the concrete belt cinched tight at your waist Rest. Breathe. Recover. Heal - And we will do the same. Nadine Anne Hura: Thank you for the amazing response to this poem! I never expected it to travel so far and wide. Many people have asked who the author is so I wanted to clarify that I wrote this poem on the train home after the announcement of total lockdown was made here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. I felt like I could hear Papatnuku exhaling in relief as we all began our journeys home. In truth, one month of lockdown is not enough. Even six months would not be enough! We need a total and sustained change of habit, globally and within our own communities. I hope so much we take our time to reflect on the fact that if we can do it to save ourselves for a month, we ought to be able to make similar habit changes for Mother Earth for the long term. The most telling thing for me was how empty our veggie plant aisles were after lockdown was announced - in a crisis, we will turn back to our mother to provide (and of course she will!). Lots of people have asked for translations... Papatnuku - Mother Earth (the addition of the e in front signals the words are addressed or spoken directly to her.) Ka turuturu te wai kamo o Rangi ki runga i a koe - means something like, tears from the eyes of Ranginui drip down on you (Ranginui is our sky father, it is common to refer to rain as the tears of Rangi for his beloved, from whom he was separated at the beginning of time in order that there could be light in the world). Not long after the announcement we were moving to level 3, it poured with rain in Porirua after many months of hot and dry weather. I could feel my garden rejoicing. Hei aha - This can be translated in many ways, but I meant it like the English oh well, whatever He iti noaiho - something small. Because our sacrifice feels enormous but in reality I think it is not sufficient to truly see Papatnuku recover. However, in Mori, we often talk about the significance of small actions or gestures. We say ahakoa he iti, he pounamu. Although it is small, it is a treasure. Thank you so much for the support
