Hanekom Family - feast

dalk was ek

dalk was ek bietjie gulsig met die lewe
gegryp na die hand
toe die pinkie genoeg was...
maar nou ja

dalk was ek bietjie ongeduldig met geliefdes
omdat ek soveel van hul wou hê
niks terughou... alles sê...

dalk was ek bietjie manipulerend
en wou myself inwurm
in dit wat vir my kosbaar
en spesiaal was

maar nou ja

"such is life"

en die liefde glo alles
hoop alles
en dalk meer belangrik:

verdra alles.

pretty things distract me

and public holidays distract me

and royal Swedish - palace quarter guardhouses distract me

I've discovered...

 

 

oh dear

oh dear

oh Dear

!

poetry and pleasure

this is heaven

poetry and pleasure

and pictures and pecan-nut tart

and a pat on the back

and poise

and purpose

and privacy

and prints

and photo's

and plenty of powerful connections

and a peck on the cheek

I have a total

 and utterly crippling

crush on this lady: 

Elle Moss.

"Innocence" by Kathleen Tessaro

I push the almonds round and round in the dish.
He's just sitting there, watching me.
"It's a great title" I add. "Really original".

'You don't believe in all that, do you?'
He sounds incredulous, as if I've just admitted writing a letter to Santa Claus.
"What?"


 'Love.'
"Yes of course I do!"

I'm aware of how uncool this is to say out loud, but I don't care.
"It's the 1 thing I believe in above everything else.
It gives life weight and meaning.
How else can we leave the world better off than when we came in?"

♥
And he smiles, despite himself.

recipes

Kate Kerrigan's book:

"The heart of a recipe, what makes it work, is a mystery.

Taste is such a personal thing and yet

the right recipe can open a person's senses

to a food they thought they didn't like"

have you opened someone senses?

 have you introduced something 

into someones life they thought they didn't like?

lets add

lets contribute

'You know the worst: your wills are fickle,
Your values blurred, your hearts impure
And your past life a ruined church—
But let your poison be your cure.'' 

Louis MacNeice

Goeie Vrydag

Mattheus 27:46

teen 3 uur het Jesus hard uitgeroep:

"Eli, Eli, lema sabagtani?"

(vertaal; "My God, my God, waarom het U My verlaat?)

letters to a young poet

"You gave me much joy, my dear sir, with your Easter letter;
for it said many good things about yourself,
and the way you spoke of Jacobsen's great and beloved art showed me that I had not erred in guiding your life and its many questions to this source of plenty.

Now Niels Lyhne will open up before you, a book of glories and of the deeps;
the oftener one reads it-
there seems to be everything in it
from life's very faintest fragrance
to the full big taste of its heaviest fruits."




Rainer M Rilke.

Easter Prayer

the moon saw
Alpha
when You knelt
face to the ground
sorrowful garden

the moon saw
You weep
You were the Matza
and Afikomen
Jewish
Eternal
Saviour

tears in the dust
sorrowful heart
pure heart
 Omega

arranging furniture

so we're playing computer games

reading the newspaper

making babies

cooking

washing

worrying

all the while

the world is ending

bit by bit

and we

don't

even

notice

just a sad, soft nudging in the quiet

of night

a poem

a whisper

tugging for our attention

but we

look

away

cute gifts
