Ma te tirotiro i nga tikanga o te hononga metaphysics, ka whakakotahi tenei whare i nga taupatupatu i waenga i nga pihi me nga koki, nga tira whakakoi me nga raima raima, ka hanga he whakakotahitanga ngawari. I te nuinga o te wa ka whakaarohia te pakitara hei waahanga kotahi o te anga. Whai muri i te whakakakahu ki te kowiri tira piko, ka huri te pakitara ki te kawe mahi, ki te kawe kihini, ki te rokiroki, ki nga paipa, ki nga hau-a-rangi… me etahi atu, nga mea tino nui mo te oranga o ia ra.
