Will things into existence

We will things into existence. 
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but we never stop executing! 
Take multiple shots at it, 
have faith that it will work and it will. 
There can be no other way. 

We will things into existence, 
everyday is play for us. 
We have imagination, 
unquenchable spirit, 
the eyes of a child. 

We try out different combinations, 
undeterred by failure. 
Motivated by the truth that's in our souls. 

We will things into existence, 
we are blinded by biases, 
our faith makes us bend reality 
like an optical illusion. 

We will things into existence, 
we don't stop, 
it's our mode of being, 
an expression of life, 
a statement of authenticity. 

We are foolish, 
we are crazy, 
we are rebels, 
we are different. 

We will things into existence. 
We have enthusiasm for life.

It inspires us. 
We love it! 

We laugh, 
we share, 
we plant, 
we busk, 
we dare, 
we dream, 
we soar. 

If you want to be something, 
be it! 
Anything you want in the world is yours.

Carmen

Carmen At Joburg Theatre for the opening of "Carmen", full house, mature demographic. Always wanted to go the opera since "The Godfather". It has that appeal, the voices, drama, emotion, gusto, heritage and culture.  I love this form of storytelling, they sing dialogue, less to do with words and more about emotion, feeling and execution. Sing your heart out, be expressive and articulate, take your time, the stage is yours. The opera is sung in French and  English subtitles to translate, it helped with continuity and following the story. Don't have the vocabulary to describe the voices, such beauty, heavenly is my attempt. The choruses are mezmarrizing, in sync, perfect delivery and immersion in the current moment. In flow and in love with what they were doing. You have to have a voicebox, good pipes and deliver high notes. Tone deaf and you don't have a chance! Even when they were laughing, they were in tune. This is not idols, no woo...

In search of lost time

-
In search of lost time Easily one of the greatest books of all time. It follows the life of the author and his experiences throughout his life. "In search of lost time" covers the subjects of Love, homosexuality, death, old age, art, the Dreyfus case, social conventions, politics, family, friends, the war and lost time. It is such a masterpiece. If only I could write like Proust. He writes like a detailed painting. You can see the brush strokes in his words. You can see the different hues. His words are passionate and full of life like Spring. His words are so vivid, they evoke feelings and transport you to his time. He describes everything in its smallest detail. He is reflective and honest. He can make you laugh and he can make you sad. He makes you reflect about your life, your decisions, your future. He makes you see how tragic life really is. Even with all the money in the world and the most esteemed people by your side, it still doesn't mean anything. The esteemed p...

MANTSOPA

MANTSOPA  At the Market Theatre to watch the highly acclaimed play "Mantsopa" by Dr. Jerry Mofokeng wa Makhetha. The scenery was so cool, the majority of people had on their traditional attire, they donned blankets wrapped around their shoulders. You could feel the spirit of the Basotho people. The dialogue between people was also in Sesotho, the demographic was well represented. This is such a great show! So original and authentically African. I love the Market Theatre because it tells our stories. Last thing I said after the bow was "wow", it was the general consensus, it induces goosebumps.  Mantsopa, whose grave lies at Modderpoort in the eastern Free State, was born in 1793 and died in 1908. A survivor of famine and subsequent cannibalism, she grew to become a trusted advisor to King Moshoeshoe I, correctly predicting victorious battle outcomes for Basotho against colonial settlers and speaking truth to power with unshaking honesty. She ...
