Tit for tat

Don't be a weak person
there is nothing admirable about a weak person
he is just weak. 

A good person is one who has mastered his darkside. 

The hero has to descend into chaos to instill order. 

Tit for tat, 
when someone pushes you
you push back
then you forgive and move on. 

If that ends the game
then so be it, 
never be a pushover. 

Tit for tat, 
hands wash each other
if someone turns their back on you, 
you turn your back on them. 

Don't go out of your way to impress, 
authenticity wins the press. 

Be you, 
be content with who you are. 

If someone doesn't see your value
then so be it
you stop providing the value. 

Reciprocate goodness
when someone is good to you
let it flow
extend your hand so the relationship may grow. 

Tit for tat, 
when good intention is the star
it shows. 

Tit for tat, 
open where they open
close where they close
measured steps
it's all a game. 

Forgive and move forward
if they stall
then it's all the same. 

Tit for tat, 
elevate those who elevate you
ignore those who ignore you. 

It's not deep
just life
you get what is meant for you. 

Tit for tat, 
water the seeds of others
so they may water yours. 

Be flexible and yield
life will be flexible and yield
Tit for tat, 
let that be your shield. 

Tit for tat, 
don't be a weak person
there is nothing admirable about a weak person 
he is just weak. 

When someone pushes you
you push back
Never be a pushover.

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 ...
