Listen to nature

I was awestruck when I first discovered that Māori had a name for every single night of the moon. Every single night! They distinguish between tonight’s moon and tomorrow’s moon, the one after that, and so on through the whole cycle of the moon.

Also I read in Rangi Matāmua’s book that Māori had named some stars that other peoples could not see with the naked eye, but later found with the aid of a telescope. To have such excellent sight, and to be so observant and in tune with natural cycles is truly awesome.
