To do research.
For?
Whatever. Just like to research.
A particular interest of yours?
No, just research.
Any research in particular?
Um, yes.
What?
Annuals. Years in review.
You seem hesitant about telling me more.
What happened in 2020. I got to find out more.
Why?
We paused. I mean, there was more to it, wasn’t there?
I guess there was.
But what?
I don’t know. I wish I knew. Do you mean some sort of sign?
No. A brush with something.
I don’t try and find meaning in events. It’s too unknown.
But I do.
Why?
Because I just do. There must be more to this. The things we see.
The parameters.
That we put on life.
You want to see more.
Yes. I look for more.
What do you see now?
Tragedy. But I’ve never heard it said that way. It’s all been called death. Can anyone articulate why we can’t say it some other way? We’re too numb.
How would you say it?
I can’t. I just can’t. It’s like we can’t express the feelings behind compassion. We just say facts.
You feel deeply.
Yes, I do. I feel deeply.

Musically, takes an interest in all sorts, but is more likely to listen to pop music, singer/songwriter, Christian music, and certain niche material, eschewing rock, and heavy metal generally. He was pinning his hopes on the All Whites getting into the Fifa World Cup, the Black Caps winning against England, and has been saddened and shocked by gun crimes in the United States. Covid-19 has not affected him directly but sees sticking to health and safety as a matter of survival. Resourceful, eclectic, and enthusiastic, he has won several accolades for cricket, public speaking, debating, and scripture reading.
