hi,
I only speak english, and a smattering of other... not yours unfortunately.
It is a beautiful language, though, and maybe someday y'all will have me
there, and I will learn, but not in the near future. The beauty of a people
can be seen in the beauty of it's weaponry. Patu, mere, kotiate,
versus..guns and bombs! (Sorry, I seem to be waxing political.) The use of
such weapons (mastery) is a most beautiful art and path to self realization,
don't you think? Well, I'm Brad.... pleased to meet you. Peace, Brad
