Riaan en Kari Doorduin: In Eindelose Confusion

08 November 2008

In Eindelose Confusion

Die naweek uitgesit om seker te maak dat ons kan registreer hier in Marlmesburry se IEC. So Vrydag kom Marna saam met Kari. Op die plaas rondgeloop gekyk na die stropers en oes. By die dam verby gery en gesien daar is ouens besig om te windsurf. Ek kon dit nie weerstaan om nie ons seile te gaan haal en saam te seil nie. Die aand het Johan S. by ons kom braai. Lekker gekuier en gebraai.

Saterdag oggend na Malmesbury om te gaan registreer. Daargekom en ons hoor dat ons eintlik by Langverwagt hier by een van ons buurplase moet wees... Ons ry toe maar aan na Strand waar ons vir Marna aflaai en verder aanry na Pringlebaai.

Oom Piet het ons lekker ontmoet by Pringlebaai. Lekker om weer vir hom te sien en op te vang met al die nuus van familie tuis! Wim is getroud! Lekker familie dag! Ma het terugekom van 'n perel-stalletjies-sessie in Caledon. Pa het terugekom van Transvaal en Vrystaat. Stefan en Yolandi het ons ook later gejoin. Lekker gekuier.

Sondag het Colyn en Erica ook kom inloer. Lekker gesels en lyk of dit me die babetjie goedgaan. Ons is lekker saam met hulle opgewonde oor die nuwe bondeltjie wat hulle lewe ingaan. Laat aand weer terug en lekker gekuier

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." -Albert Einstein

"He who cannot draw on 3000 years is living from hand to mouth." -Goethe

"When confronted with a work of art, we have to open our minds to allow it to carry us away. If we seek to relate intimately to another person, we have to be prepared to make ourselves vulnerable.." - Karen Armstrong

I wanted to live everywhere and smell, taste, feel everything. I wanted to go to sea, explore unknown lands, take off in a space rocket, dine only at all-you-can-eat restaurants, be the last to leave parties. What I couldn’t acknowledge then, and hardly now, is that life just isn’t like that for most of us. The quicksands of suburbia were lurking at every step, and those who broke on through to the sunlit uplands couldn’t find their way back, even when the poverty and lack of enthusiasm for climbing means they wanted to come back. It was the dream of an immature young man, which is exactly what I was.
My eyes would be drawn inevitably to the low ridge of purple hills that ringed the east side of Manchester. The weight of the city; of all those people moving on their tiny arcs across its concrete streets, would be lifted for a moment. That place, over there in those hills, was somewhere I could feel alive, where the moment of release could give me the clarity to understand unconsciously that poetry, prophecy, and religion are all one.

- Ed Douglas: Voices from the Summit, 2000
