April 14, 2026 – Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens, Victoria Square, the Art Gallery, a little shopping, and dinner at King of Snake – a day that moved at an unhurried pace. At the Christchurch Art Gallery, I paused at a line by Serene Hodgman:
“Maybe the moments where we think we’re doing the least actually add up to making the best of what little we think we have.”
It stayed with me.
