Indlela eya eSt Pietro "iSt. Peters Basilica", ERoma, eItali
NDINGU ukuya eRoma. Kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa, ndiza kuba nelungelo lokucula phambi kwabahlobo bakaPopu John Paul II abasondeleyo… ukuba akunguye uPopu Benedict ngokwakhe. Okwangoku, ndiziva ngathi olu hambo lunenjongo enzulu, umsebenzi otyunjiweyo…
Kudala ndicinga ngako konke okwenzekileyo ngokubhala apha kunyaka ophelileyo… Izilwanyana, Amaxilongo Esilumkiso, isimemo kwabo bonayo, inkuthazo yoku Yoyisa uloyiko kula maxesha, kwaye okokugqibela, iisamani ezibizwa "Iliwa" kunye nokusabela kukaPeter kwisaqhwithi esizayo.
Ngokwenyani, kuthe qatha kum izolo nje ukuba ndikhokelwe ukuba ndibhale ngoPeter nangeCawe kwiveki ephelileyo, kanye phambi kokuba ndiye ukubona "Peter" entliziyweni yeCawe!
Siphila kumaxesha angaqhelekanga-amaxesha endikholelwa ukuba aza kutshintsha ngeendlela eziguqukayo kwikamva elingekude kakhulu. Xa ujonga emva, oko sele kubhaliwe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kubonakala kufikelela encotsheni, kukhawuleza ukuya kumzuzu wembali. Kunjengokuba kunjalo ixesha liqela elikhulu le-elastic, kwaye sele iza i-snap-Xa imithandazo inyuka ngequbuliso, inceba iyawa, kwaye ilastiki iyakhululeka okwexeshana, ubuncinci.
Ngokuhlwanje, ndinombulelo ongazenzisiyo kuni nonke nibhale ngenkuthazo, iziqinisekiso, ukuqonda, ngakumbi imithandazo. Yazi ukuba ndiza kunithwala, abafundi, entliziyweni yam ukuya eRoma. Sikunye nohambo kunye, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba injongo yam kolu hambo ibandakanya wena ngandlela thile. (Ukuba ndikhubeka kwikhompyuter kwenye indawo kumangcwaba, ndiqinisekile ukuba ndinokuba negama okanye amabini ekubhalelayo kwezi veki zimbini.)
Ndicela nindithandazise… kwindlela eya eRoma.
