THE MEETING PLACE
Glendyn Ivin
Right up at the most northern tip of New Zealand is Cape Reinga. My friend Nigel Bluck urged me to make the trip up there and I'm so glad I did. The Maori believe the spirits of their dead travel up along 90 Mile Beach and finally to Cape Reinga on their journey to the afterlife. The place definitely has an energy, regardless of belief or mythology, it feels significant. Below is a photo looking out to the water from the cape. Thats the Tasman Sea on the left, smashing into the Pacific Ocean on the right, what a trip... Spirits leaving and oceans colliding, it's an intense place to say the least. I loved it. I could have stayed there all day, in the mist, just standing there in awe of it all.
