The Eyes of Tawhirimatea

In our lesson in Wananga, we had to make a blog reflection about "The Eyes of Tawhirimatea". 

In the story behind "The Eyes of Tawhirimatea", there was nothing, there were no earth, no sea, sky or light, it was pitch black, it was cold and dark. With all the nothingness, there was the sky father, Ranginui and the earth mother, Papatuanuku, who both encountered each other and fell in love, because of their love for one another, they embraced each other and did not let go. Together, they had children and all of them were male. Their sons lived in between their darkness for years and as they grew up, they began to wonder what it would be like to live in the light. The most fierce out of all their sons, Tumatauenga, yelled at his brothers, "Let's kill them!", he was referring to their parents, Papatuanuku and Tanginui. All the brothers disagreed because they thought it was not a good idea. On the other hand, Tanemahuta had a solution to the problem, he suggested that they would separate their parents by pushing them apart. Three of their sons, Rongomatane, Tangaroa, and Haumia-Tiketike used all their strength to push their parents apart, unfortunately, they did not succeed. Their father, pleaded, "Please sons! Don't separate us!", finally, their other brothers joined them and were able to separate Papatuanuku and Tanginui apart. Overjoyed, the sons celebrated with each other to finally see light and have space to move. The other son, however, was not pleased, he couldn't stand his parents cry and see them in pain, he was full of rage that he threw his eyes up in the sky which became the "Stars of Matariki".
