BUKHONA UMTSHATO WENTSIKELELO YENTOMBI EYIBUSISIWEYO,
UMAMA KATHIXO
NGAPHAKATHI I-din yesidlo seKrisimesi kunye nosapho olonwabisayo, la magama aqhubeka edada ngaphezulu kwengxolo ngokuzingisa:
Lo ngunyaka wokuZisombulula ...
Emva kweveki ndicingisisa ngala mazwi, “Izilwanyana” kwafika engqondweni—ezo ngcinga zokuqala kule webhsayithi ezithe ngeendlela ezininzi zaphembelela olu “lungiselelo lokubhala.” Ngelixa ezi Petals ziyakuthatha ixesha ukutyhileka ngokupheleleyo, ndiyakholelwa ukuba iZulu belisilungiselela eli xesha lonyaka limangalisayo apho siyakubona uLoyiso lukaMariya luqala ukuzibonakalisa phambi kwamehlo ethu.
Oko konke oku kuthetha ukuba andinakuthetha. Kodwa amagqabantshintshi endiwanikwe ngaphezulu kweKrisimesi ayonwabisa njengoko emangalisa. Ngeendlela ezininzi, ukufundwa kweAdvent kuye kwatsho konke, yiyo loo nto ndaziva ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndibhale ukuba simamele ngenyamekoNgokukodwa kufundo lweMisa yonke imihla.
Ndiyamangaliswa yindlela esi sizukulwana esingafaniyo kwaphela nesingaphambi kwayo. Zange khe sibe nexesha ukusukela ngexesha likaKrestu xa uSirayeli wayesisizwe esisemthethweni; xa unxibelelwano lunokwenzeka kwiplanethi nangaphaya ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso; xa lonke ulwazi lwehlabathi lunokufumaneka ngokucofa nje iqhosha; xa sasibona ngamehlo ethu iminyele engaphaya kweminyele; xa abantu bebhabha emajukujukwini… okanye behamba ngaphantsi kolwandle. Kodwa okona koyikisayo, asikaze sibe nesizukulwana esiye saqhomfa iintsana ezininzi (ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-44 ukusukela ngo-1973); kuthintele ubukho babantu bonke ngolawulo lokuzalwa; isebenzise iteknoloji ukulinganisa nokwenza ubomi; belawula izixhobo ezinokubhubhisa izizwe; kwaye ube sisityebi kakhulu… ukanti uhlwempuzekile ngokomoya.
Ngamafutshane, siye saba sisizukulwana “soothixo” abaye baba ngaphantsi kwabantu.
Unyaka wokutyhilwa uphezu kwethu. Isenokuba nobuqili. Okanye inokubonakala ngokucacileyo kuyo yonke imiphefumlo esemhlabeni. UThixo uyazi. Into ebonakala iqinisekile kukuba ubomi buza kutshintsha kuthi sonke.
Kwaye mhlawumbi kungekudala kunangoku.
(Qaphela: Kamva kulo nyaka, kwaye ngo-2008, ukuwohloka kwemarike yemasheya kwaqala. Abanye bathi ukutshatyalaliswa kwayo kuye kwahlehliswa, kufihlwe ngakumbi ngamaziko emali ... Ityala liqhubeka likhula, ingeniso yekhaya iyancipha, kwaye uqoqosho olusekelwe kwidola luqhubeka lubuthathaka phakathi kwemikhosi emininzi yangaphakathi nangaphandle ...)
