Boeke:






“The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, 
and if I repent of any thing it is very likely to be my good behavior.”


“We are made to exaggerate the importance of what work we do; 
and yet, how much is not done by us!”


"Simplify, simplify!"


“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

your play needs no excuse.
Never excuse."

"Make it your goal to live a quiet life, 
minding your own business 
and working with your hands,"

1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)


~ ❖ ~






"How many people have you seen who are more alive at the end of the work day than they were at the beginning? Do we come home from our ‘making a living’ activity with more life? … Where’s all the life we supposedly made at work? For many of us, isn't the truth of it closer to "making a dying"? Aren't we killing ourselves - our health, our relationships, our sense of joy and wonder - for our jobs? We are sacrificing our lives for money – but it’s happening so slowly that we barely notice.”

Not For Sale

That was the surprise.
not the news, 
not what was said,
or wasn't said,
but the discovery, 
the bitter discovery,
that what I had given,
was not for sale.

My heart feels stolen,
my soul feels robbed,
they say, "We were take,
unknowingly,
without a say,
no voice in the matter."

My soul asks, "Why?
why did you do this?
didn't you hear me,
crying out, no?"

My heart cries out, 
"Of course you knew,
or should have known,
there was nothing left,
nothing left to give."

It was a gift,
not a sale,
and now I know, 
the last to know.

So, I take my heart,
I take my soul,
come home now,
"I can hear you."

Wakkerstroom Klassieke Musiekfees 2025 20 - 23 Maart 2025 “God sprei die hemel uit oor die leë ruimte,  Hy laat die aarde hang waar niks is nie.  Hy versamel die water in die wolke, en hulle skeur nie onder die las nie.  Hy plaas die horison op die see,  'n grens tussen lig en donker.  Dit is maar die begin van sy dade,  ons hoor net die gefluister van sy woorde.  Maar die volle krag van sy dade, wie kan dit verstaan?” ‭‭Job ‭26‬:‭7‬-‭8‬, ‭10‬, ‭14‬ ‭AFR83‬‬                           Dit is weer daardie tyd van die jaar! Herfs is oral sigbaar en voelbaar en daar is die geur van kreatiwiteit en voorbereidings in die lug wanneer jy ons klein dorpie binnekom.

Wat Die Mistici Weet   2) Ons Hoef Nie Perfek Te wees Nie “Kom na My toe,  almal wat vermoeid en swaar belas is,  en Ek sal julle rus gee.  Neem my juk op julle, en leer van My,  omdat Ek sagmoedig en nederig van hart is,  en julle sal rus vind vir julle gemoed.  Want my juk is draaglik en my las is lig.” ‭‭Matteus‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭AFR20‬ ‬                               Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ Question of the Day: How does one incorporate imperfection? In a Navajo rug there is always one clear imperfection woven into the pattern. And interestingly enough, this is precisely where the Spirit moves in and out of the rug! The Semitic mind, the Eastern mind (which, by the way, Jesus would have been much closer to) understands perfection in precisely that way. The East is much more comfortable with paradox, mystery, and non-dual thinking than the Western mind which ...

Lessons in Sunbirdish (1)

I have no way of proving that God exists. For a long, long time I believed because I didn't think I had a choice. If it is a choice between heaven and hell, you do what it takes to secure your celestial seat. Somehow I never stopped to consider why I so strongly believed in a heaven and hell, but wasn't nearly as sure that there's a God holding the keys to them. Then the sunbirds came. Slowly but surely I am being taught the dialect I need to converse with God. Or rather, to follow on what seems to be a trail that God leaves me. Being just up ahead and beckoning me all the while, it's not a chase after or a search for God, but rather a joint venture with God scouting and reporting back when my spirit runs low on this journey through life. In  A Rare Find  and  Bird on my window sill  I touched on synchronicity. I have come to believe that consciously living our moments, awakens us to the fact that there are more things in this life than meet the eyeball. Things t...
