Papatuanuku lives a sombre life. everyday he watches the beautiful Ranginui. but he cannot touch her. this is why he is blue. sometimes he is overcome by grief, he is grey and cries big 'ol fat raindrops. Ranginui takes in all his tears, and she wears them on her skin. she is proud to have a little part of Papatuanuku with her. He sees this and rejoices, the sun can be seen. and at night sometimes when he is happy, the sky will change from blue to pink, orange, and purple. even though life is a constant hardship for him, he still finds ways to deal with his grief, he finds ways to live. i have found solace in the sadness of Papatuanuku.
