In Māori mythology, Ranginui, Sky Father, and Papatūānuku, Earth Mother, share a profound love. Their son, Tāne Mahuta, separates them, creating immense sorrow. Ranginui's tears become life-giving rain, while Papatūānuku's sighs rise as mist. This painful separation births the natural world, symbolizing the enduring interdependence and balance of nature.
