Izintaba ezingama-88 zabantu abajabule
Kulesi sahluko esithi “Izinyathelo Ezingama-88 Zabantu Abajabulayo” ngiyakukhuthaza ukuthi ungalilahli ithemba
Ngomunye weminyaka engangihlala eVirginia, e-USA (sengiphelele cishe iminyaka eyishumi ngihlala kulelo zwe), ngonyaka wami wesibili weziqu zami nganginothisha wokucula engafunda naye izinto eziningi. Futhi hhayi kuphela ezihlobene nokucula. Kuzo zonke lezo zinto, ngizogcina ezimbili. Esinye esiphathelene nokufunda, futhi leso sifundo ngizosisho eSinyathelweni esilandelayo, futhi esinye esiphathelene nendlela yokubhekana nezikhathi ezinzima, futhi ngizokhuluma ngaso kulesi.
UKatrina, kwakuyigama lakhe lelo, wayesanda kufika enyuvesi yami enguprofesa esikoleni Isikhundla somculo. Kusukela cishe ngomzuzu wokuqala wazithola engajabule, futhi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wazama kangakanani, akakwazanga ukuthola indawo yakhe kuleso sikhungo semfundo, hhayi ngokomsebenzi noma emphakathini. Wayengaqondi ukuthi kungani abe nesikhathi esibi kangaka, futhi wagcina echithe isikhathi sakhe esiningi ezama ukuthola incazelo.
Nsuku zonke wayekhuluma nomuntu amthemba kakhulu, umfowabo, futhi ehlale enombuzo ofanayo engqondweni: “Kungani lokhu kwenzeka kimi futhi ngingakumisa kanjani?” Lo mbuzo wawumkhathaza, futhi zonke izeluleko zomfowabo zazingenamsebenzi. Wayesebhodwe usizi, nosizi lwakhe lwalukhula. Wayengene ekwindla. Ekhathele ukumbona ehlupheka, ngolunye usuku, umfowabo waqhuma:
—Yeka ukuzihlukumeza! Yeka ukufuna incazelo. UNONYAKA OMUBI NJE! Futhi wonke umuntu unelungelo lokuba nonyaka omubi. Uma uqhubeka nokufuna imbangela njengekhambi lalokho okwenzeka kuwe, khona-ke ikhambi lizobiza kakhulu kunenkinga ngokwayo. Yazi ukuthi unyaka omubi futhi… KWAMUKELE!
[—Yeka ukuzihlukumeza! Yeka ukufuna izincazelo. UNONYAKA OMUBI! Futhi wonke umuntu unelungelo lokuba nonyaka omubi. Uma uqhubeka nokufuna imbangela njengekhambi lalokho okwenzeka kuwe, khona-ke ikhambi lizokulimaza kakhulu kunenkinga. Vuma ukuthi unyaka omubi futhi… KWAMUKELE!]
Leso sigaba sashintsha ukuphila kwakhe.
Akazange abone ukuthi wayehlushwa kakhulu ukuphelelwa yithemba lokungatholi imbangela yenkinga kunaleyo nkinga ngokwayo. Kusukela ngesikhathi emukela inkinga, kwenzeka okuthile okumangalisayo. Futhi ukuthi ... inkinga yaphelelwa amandla.
Ukwamukela nje kwaba ukuqala kokuphela kwenkinga. Uma udlula enkathini enzima, qonda ukuthi umonakalo omkhulu awuveli ubunzima benkathi, kodwa ukuthi ningakwamukeli. Uma ulazi leli qiniso futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi usebenza ekuboneni inkinga futhi wamukele isikhathi, kuzofana nokukhipha ubuthi benyoka. Inyoka isekhona, kodwa ayisethuki.
Impela esimweni sakho akusona ngisho unyaka, kodwa inyanga, isonto noma usuku. Okubalulekile akusona isikhathi sayo. Isimo sakho sengqondo.
