Saligheid Van Muurblom-wees

Ons kan dit nie onder woorde bring nie, maar almal van ons is bang daar is iets verskriklik fout met ons. As ons die prinses was, sou die prins opdaag. As ons die dogter van `n koning was, sou hy vir ons veg. Ons kan nie help om te glo dat as ons anders was, as ons beter was, sou ons nou al wees wat ons verlang om te wees nie. Die fout mòèt by ons lê.

Ons verkies om dus muurblom te wees, onpenetreerbaar en mooi op-`n-rakkie, waar niemand ons kan pla met onbereikbare verwagtinge nie. Waar ons na hartelus kan afskilfer of netjies gesete bly om die verbygaande lewens te aanskou.

En terwyl ons daar sit, wonder ons hoe ons so oortuig geraak het dat ons siektes sonder kuur is, ons foute onverhaalbaar, hoe geen hoeveelheid geld ons selfverwyt kan terugkoop nie; dat vertroue verlore wense is.

As ons muurblomme is, hoef ons nooit in die oë gesit te word nie; nooit te begin of op te gee nie. Ons neem nie deel nie. Ons hoef niks name te onthou nie. Ons het niks (ware) vriende om teleur te stel nie. Ons hoef nie verhoudings te maak of breek nie.

Dis so gerieflik soos onsigbaarheid. Maar wat nou?

Tentative Tuesday

"The Kotzker Rebbe put it succinctly when he said that a person should have a piece of paper in each side pocket. On one should be written, "The world was created (just) for me". On the other, "I am (originated from only) dust and ashes". The trick in life, says the Rebbe is to know when to take out which piece of paper!" - Torah
Remember you're not special.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."

The Frown - The National


This - actually - is South African. Had a quick glance at it on MK and have continued to fall into its intruiging pit of disgust and repulse. In a good way. Proud that its one of the best eye-catching videos I've come across, and it's locally produced. This graphically overshadows the song a bit, but I'd give the song about a 6.5 / 10 without the video anyway. Enjoy.

Listen to: '81 from album: Have One on Me

And it does not suffice, for you, to say:
I am a sweet girl
And it does not suffice to say
you hate to see me sad
Because of you


And everywhere I tried to love you




Is yours again and only yours.
