Jy Moet Jou Vyand Liefhê
“Julle het gehoor dat daar gesê is:
‘Jou naaste moet jy liefhê en jou vyand moet jy haat.’
Maar Ek sê vir julle:
Julle moet julle vyande liefhê, en julle moet bid vir dié wat vir julle vervolg,
sodat julle kinders kan wees van julle Vader in die hemel.
Hy laat immers sy son opkom oor slegtes en goeies,
en Hy laat reën oor dié wat reg doen en oor dié wat verkeerd doen.
As julle net dié liefhet wat vir julle liefhet,
watter loon kan julle dan nog verwag?
Maak die tollenaars nie ook maar net so nie?
En as julle net julle broers groet, wat doen julle meer as ander?
Maak die heidene nie ook maar net so nie?“
Matt 5:43-47
Die Gesprek
Elemente Uit Die Gesprek
"The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the whole moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook on life. That I feed the hungry, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy in the name of Christ -- all these are undoubtedly great virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ. But what if I should discover that the least among them all, the poorest of all the beggars, the most impudent of all the offenders, the very enemy himself -- that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness -- that I myself am the enemy who must be loved -- what then? As a rule, the Christian's attitude is then reversed; there is no longer any question of love or long-suffering; we say to the brother within us "Raca," and condemn and rage against ourselves. We hide it from the world; we refuse to admit ever having met this least among the lowly in ourselves.”
Carl Gustav Jung

Clearing
Do not try to save
the whole world
or do anything grandiose.
Instead, create
a clearing
in the dense forest
of your life
and wait there
patiently,
until the song
that is your life
falls into your own cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.
Only then will you know
how to give yourself
to this world
so worth of rescue.
– Martha Postlewaite
Met baie liefde.
