person of the week: Sankie Jordaan

Sankie Jordaan wen "person- of -the-week"
omdat sy so 'n dierbare en egte ma is.
Sy is boervrou ( taai en weet hoe om wingerd te snoei )
Sy is knap huisvrou ( sy bak fyn tertjies 
en piesangbrood waarvoor jy jou linkerhand sal gee )
Sy is ma van 2.
Dus het sy haarself oopgestel vir die grootste avontuur....
om vlees van jou vlees die wye wêreld in te stuur...
met net 'n bietjie opvoeding en gebede en Montagu-mooi in hul harte...

dapper vrou.
admin vrou
leier vrou
binneshuis-versierder.

en sy kan 'n bakkie deur 'n verspeolde drif ry
en sy is gasvry en deernisvol.
goeie balans.
goeie vrou vir Pierre.

heart things

go where it is cold
go where it is
pure
and melt the ice
with your care and kindness

go where the photographs come alive
and where the earth is hard
the air stings
fishes dance in the ice

and be at peace
with the
brute
force
of nature

quiet

Bandile Mdlalose is secretary general of Abahlali baseMjondolo (Shack-dwellers’ Movement) — the largest social movement in post-apartheid South Africa.

Hindi poem...

Hey brother, why do you want me to talk?
Talk and talk and the real things get lost.

Talk and talk and things get out of hand.
Why not stop talking and think?

If you meet someone good, listen a little, speak;
If you meet someone bad, clench up like a fist.

Talking with a wise man is a great reward.
Talking with a fool? A waste.

Kabir says: A pot makes noise if it's half full,
But fill it to the brim -- no sound.

poet: Kabir.

reality check - Tuesday

Reality check:
everything we are
and everything we have
comes from God.
We did not do anything
to deserve what we have been given.
 It is God's grace, pure and simple.

mank mank- Maandag malligheid



Ek huppel verby die ure
Mank- Maandag probeer byhou
maar sy grys glimlag rus op my rug.
my gesig gedraai na Donderdag
"Man- terugkom- van- jag-ekspidisie-Dag"




Die spoed van Usain Bolt in my vingers oor die keyboard
die opwinding van nuwe fases in my hart
eks 50 meter voor mank Maandag
Mag hy my nie inhaal nie...
