Kungani Ukuhamba Kuyisihogo Sabantu Abakhathazekile

Nginokuphambuka okusha engingakusebenzisa lapho othile eziphatha kabi kakhulu. “Ngiyethemba kuzomele uthuthe,” ngisho ngokuzwakalayo, futhi uma ngingakusho ngokuzwakalayo ngiyakucabanga. Ukuhamba kuyindlela yokuhlukumeza ongeke uyichaze; kufanele uphile ngayo ukuze wazi ukuthi ihlaba kanjani ngokujulile emphefumulweni wakho, enhlalakahleni yakho, nasempilweni yakho.

Ngikwazi kanjani lokhu kahle kangaka? Ngoba mina nomyeni wami sisanda kusuka endaweni ebesihlala kuyo iminyaka eyi-l4. Bekufanele sithuthe amahhovisi amabili, indawo yokugcina, nazo zonke izingubo zethu, izincwadi, ubuciko, amalineni, izinto zasekhishini, imishini kanye nempahla esinqwabelene kusukela esikhathini esiyimpilo emibili. Sasinamasonto amathathu ukukwenza, futhi kwacishe kwangingenisa. Ngesikhathi sisesimweni sethu esisha, ngaba nenkinga yokukhathala okwakuyintsha ngokuphelele kimi. Angikwazanga ukukhipha ibhokisi noma ngithathe isinqumo. Ngahlangabezana nohlobo oluthile lokukhubazeka ngokomzwelo. Yonke into yayibonakala inzima futhi ingaphezu kwamandla. Abangani bangena bezongisiza, futhi ngama lapho, ngingenakuzisiza, ngingakwazi ukugoqa ishidi noma ukufaka i-shelf liner ekhabetheni.

Vuma nje. Ukwamukelwa akusho ukuthi awenzi lutho, noma awuthathi sinyathelo ukuthuthukisa isimo, kepha kusho ukuthi awulwa naso. Ingabe wayefunda ingqondo? Ingabe wayazi ukuthi lokhu yilokho kanye ebengikudinga ukukuzwa?

Ngamehlo ami avaliwe, futhi ngilalele izwi likaJeff, ngaqonda ukuthi ukuhamba kuyingxenye yempilo. Kuyacindezela, kuyesabeka, yebo, kepha kuyingxenye yempilo. Ngimamatheke ngaphakathi lapho ngibona ukuthi kwenzeka kuwo wonke umuntu, njengentela, ukudla kakhulu, ukunikela ngezingubo obukade uzithanda esiza abantulayo, ukuthola imibimbi nokushwabana, ukugoqa uma kubanda, kuphele nephepha langasese.

Ngishaye udonga. Abangani beza bezosiza. Yamukela, yamukela, yamukela. Ekugcineni, ngangidlulela ekuhambeni. Ngakwazisa ukuba nengqondo engenza ukudlala ngamagama, noma ngabe ngangizwa okuthile ngaphandle kokudlala.
