MINING RESERVOIR LOVE – ALL CHILDREN DESERVE CLEAN DRINKING WATER

Be a reservoir via Hollywood of life for kids. To put it bluntly, 2 million kids die each year because clean drinking water is what 1/6th of the world still need.

Let’s flow. Thanks people.

I AM NEW ZEALAND ART by COLIN McCAHON

My three favorite painters are Ralph Hotere, Shane Cotton and Colin McCahon. They all use black a lot and their artworks are beautiful in defining people and human identity against landscape and place.

Muhammad Ali had the ‘audacity’ to declare to America the words, “I am King,” to bear witness that “all men are created equal” as America’s founding fathers saw fit to believe, write and declare. His truth became reality in Americans human rights history of American struggle towards equality for all.

BLACK RAIN POETRY BY HONE TUWHARE

RALPH HOTERE

One of my favorite poets in Literary history is the late Hone Tuwhare of the Nga Puhi, Maori tribe of New Zealand. Like me, he has the same tribal origins and is also a hori. I grew up in college reciting my poems with his grandson Kahu Tuwhare.

A Rainy Day by Hone Tuwhare

Hotere: Out the Black Window. Ralph Hotere’s Work with New Zealand Poets. Auckland Art Gallery / Toi o Taamaki, 4 July – 9 September.

I can hear you
making small holes
in the silence
rain.

Rain. It started early that morning: dark, blustery rain. As I drove to meet Hone Tuwhare in Grey Lynn, where he was staying until the Montana Book Awards ceremony (his latest collection, Shape-shifter, won the poetry section this year), I could barely see the other cars on the road. They skidded along, each in their own halo of spray.

But if I
should not hear
smell or feel or see
you

you would still
define me
disperse me
wash over me

Artwork: The Black Window by artist Ralph Hotere.

Two Maori men. Both so strong, great leaders; pretty and austere with discerning and perceptive, hori artistic wings. Thanks fellahs.
