whakarāpopototanga
Mai i te #1 New York Times kaituhi tino pai ka puta mai he pukapuka whakahihiri mō ngā kōwhiringa e whakarerekē ana i te huarahi o ō tātou oranga.
Ka huri katoa ngā mea i roto i te wā kotahi mō Dawn Edelstein.
I runga ia i te waka rererangi i te wā i panui ai te kaimahi rererangi: Kia rite mō te taunga tukinga. Ka whakareri ia i a ia anō i te mea ka puta ake ngā whakaaro i roto i tōna hinengaro. Ko te mea ohorere, ehara ngā whakaaro i tana tāne engari i te tangata i kite whakamutunga ia i ngā tau tekau mā rima ki muri: ko Wyatt Armstrong.
I ora a Dawn, he mea whakamiharo, i te tukinga, engari i ora anō hoki ngā feaa katoa kua ara ake. He oranga pai tōna. I Boston, kei reira tana tāne, a Brian, tā rāua tamahine aroha, me tana mahi hei doula mate, e āwhina ana ia ki te whakahaere i te whakawhiti i waenga i te ora me te mate mō āna kiritaki.
Engari kei tētahi wāhi i Īhipa a Wyatt Armstrong, he tohunga whaipara tangata e keri ana i ngā urupā tawhito, he mahi i akohia e Dawn i mua engari i akiakihia ia ki te whakarērea i te wā i uru mai ai te ora. Inaianei, i te mea kei te tukuna mai e te ao he whai wāhitanga tuarua māna, kāore ia i te tino mōhio ki te kōwhiringa i mahia e ia i mua.
I muri i te taunga o te rererangi, ka whakarite te kamupene rererangi kia tirohia ngā morehu e te tākuta, kātahi ka tukuna he waka ki ngā wāhi katoa e hiahia ana rātou ki te haere. Ko te huarahi māmā mā Dawn ko te haere tonu i te ara e haerehia ana e ia, me te hoki ki tōna whānau ki te kāinga.
Ko tētahi atu ko te hoki ki te wāhi keri whenua i mahue i a ia i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei, te hono anō ki a Wyatt me tō rāua hītori kāore anō kia whakatauhia, ā, tera pea ka oti tana rangahau i Te Pukapuka o ngā Ara e Rua—te mapi tuatahi mō te ao kei muri i te mate.
I te whanaketanga o te kōrero, ka hurahia ngātahi ngā mea e rua pea mō Dawn, me ngā mea ngaro me ngā feaa kua roa e huna ana i roto i a rāua. Me aro atu a Dawn ki ngā pātai kāore anō kia pātaihia e ia: He aha te āhua o te oranga pai? Ina wehe atu tātou i tēnei ao, he aha tā tātou e waiho ana? He kōwhiringa tā tātou … he mea hanga rānei tātou e ā tātou kōwhiringa?
Ā, ko wai koe mēnā kāore koe i rite ki tō āhua o nāianei? (Mai i te kaiwhakaputa.)
