What difference does my little bit make?
A farewell to a community elder. A ballot dropped in a box. A cricket series won from a game down. A kaumatua’s quiet “well done”.
On the surface, they have nothing to do with each other. And yet...
On the little bit we each offer, and why we rarely see its weight until much later.
Being the vessel, not the source
A friend my age - gone in her sleep. A young person unsure how to act without a personal incentive. A mentor's book arriving before mine. And a testimonial that humbled me completely.
Four moments. One thread running through all of them.
