men sitting silently together for long periods, content in each other's company without a need to express this in words
Thank you. For several decades, the prevailing public discourse has treated inter-personal communication largely as being about talking (especially about feeelings). I enjoy that myself, but many don't - particularly men.
And they shouldn't have to.
It was a joy watching John Campbell's respectful story last night about retiring All Black Brad Thorn's visceral enjoyment of the game. Doesn't seem to be online yet.

Maketu estuary is special to me. I learned to swim there and dived off the board mid-current with the sun on my back. We ate kaimoana from it all year. It's my awa.
I grasped the sadness and anger from locals of that coast as soon as I saw it on the news. There were tears.
Each of us has rich connections to place and past, and feels violated when that's betrayed. We deserve better leaders and respect for knowledge both long-held and new.
