MANU COMP
Te Pae Māhuri
When a tree falls in the forest it acts as a nurse log for new seedlings to grow from.
Te Pae Māhuri uses that imagery to talk about their generation being the saplings drawing their strength and nutrients from the nurse log. In time those saplings will grow to become trees. When those trees die, they will fall and become nurse logs and the cycle continues.
