Hāro – To Soar

This is a pounamu that is part of a larger set. The set was made for a childrens book that my wife created. There is one pounamu for each page of the book. The main page for this is called Sand in my toes salt in my nose and you can see all the artwork and pounamu there. The book is available for purchase at rosalindpotter.com, along with prints of the art, all done by our good friend Ginney Deavoll.

This pounamu represents birds in flight, the whoosh of them launching into the air to soar through the skies. It represents pursuing ones potential, taking risks and leaping of on adventures.

“Endless things to explore, this makes my heart soar.” (Page 16/17)
