Loaves and fishes

We bought our new water tank direct from the JoJo factory in Glencoe. (See the post Wind and Water) Besides saving money it was a very interesting experience. To be at the origin of this well-known South African product that can be seen all over the country.

We were guided through the plant and in the yard where we selected our tank by a very helpful young man. The more we asked questions about the tanks and the work they do in general, the more passionate he became. By sharing the information and showing us around, it was as if a deep sense of dignity was stirred inside him. He felt rightfully proud about the important job they were doing in this half-forgotten small Kwazulu-Natal town.

I agree with David Whyte. This is not the Information Age.

Loaves and Fishes

This is not
the age of information.

This is not
the age of information.

Forget the news,
and the radio,
and the blurred screen.

This is the time
of loaves
and fishes.

People are hungry
and one good word is bread
for a thousand.

The beauty is, we were fed as well.
