Nostalgia and Looking Forward
I’m a little late with this reflection. I freely confess, I was distracted by the Rugby World Cup, and this meant a long list of things to do once it was over. Quite surprised by how wrapped up in it I was. Even more surprised by how wrapped up in it most other New Zealanders seemed to be. Partly, I think, it was simple nostalgia. For good times, good associations, some dating back to childhood, when rugby was King. But that wasn’t all.
