Ubani ngelixa laba ngabaxelela ngokujonge ngokujulile kwezaphulo?

Ndithetha, njalo njalo ukujonge—ukubona indlela yomoya kuyo kwayo, indlela iyayisayo ngomoya, indlela iyavulayo ekuseni kwaye ivale kwixesha.

Ngokungama mashumi amahlanu nasithoba kwiFoulola, senzenzela ngezaphulo ngexesha lonke. Ngokukhawuleza, saphozela ukuba izaphulo ziyane zingaphantsi kwezaphulo.

Iyintsaphulo phakathi kwezimbono nezimbi, umoya phakathi kwendawo yokunene kanye nendawo ngaphandle, umda wodaka kakhulu owakhiwa ngumntu.

Ngoko ke, yintoni ekwenza ngokuba abakhwebezaphulo?

Umgungu wam, uDokota uChen, wasebenza lapha ngokungama mashumi amane nesithathu. Wayenjalo—emva kwenza ngelinye elinye izaphulo,

wayehlambela kancinci kwayo ngobubele. Wayithi akukuchazelo; kwakuyinto yokuthumela.

“Ngelinye elinye isiqhamo sinezimbono,” wayakuthi kum. “Icotton ingcwele kumhlaba, ilineni ibhathathwa ngamanzi,

ubuhlungu buyashisa ngemimbala. Sonke sisebenza kukuthi siyisinde ukufumana indawo eyiyo, ukuba isale kulo hlelo kwaye ibe yinxalenye yomthwalo.

Ndakhumbula ezi zwi ngokusukela koko.

Silinganisa sase sicabanga ngcono, sikhetha ngcono umgca wexesha lonke ukuhlonipha ncalini yonke yomgangatho.

Oku akukho okuphakade kuphela—kunguchaphazelo lwempahla yokwenzelela kanye nolungiso olithunyelwe kithi. Ukusebenzisa konke kungumzekelo wobuhle.

sifaka ngcono, ngoba ubuqhetseba bungabonakala kumstitch. Sikhethe iindlela ezihlaneyo kwintshukumo engenamphakathi, akungomda kuba ziyafuneka,

kodwa ngoba sifundisa ukuba lo mntu owenzayo—umphunga wesiliva okanye yengqondo ya zam—uzakufika ekhaya apho kufuneka kuthintelwe ngcono.

Kodwa njengoko uTata Chen abizwa—ukuze izinto ziqwalasele kwindawo echanekileyo, kwaye zenze ingxaki yawo ngcono.

Kodwa xa umkhondo uphinde uphinde ushiya, na kunokuba kwenzeke into encinane enobomi?

Iintsuku ezintathu ezingaphambili, satshintsha ukwenza into encinane.

Nganye ncalo yezimali ezifakweyo, sabelana into ebalulekileyo ukusiza abafundi abancinci basekuhlathini okuphela kubo abathintela ukufunda.

Akukho mntu mntu—kwaye kube kufunekayo ukuba bangakhohlwa ngamabhalo okusasa okanye ngebhati.

Asiphendula lo mzekelo kwizibulo. Kodwa njalo njalo, iwinye lezihloko zifika. Umfazi wabhalile: “Mme, igumbi letyala lamanje alinamacala.

Xa ilanga alizange libhaxele kwi-blackboard, ngokuphikeleyo kususwe kum kuba kubalulekile kumntu ukuba kubalulekile kumntu—njengeilanga, kunye nolawulo lokubona kwayo ngokucacileyo.

Ngomso saphawuleyo lo mzekelo, indlu yoshishini yayeyobukhaya. UThato Chen waphakade wahlala wahlala kumntla wakhe kumntla wakhe wayengazange aphendula.

Kodwa sonke siyayazi—imithi yethu eyayihlawulwa, yahlalwayo, yahlalwayo nganye ncalo, yeyayizakuba yinxalenye yekaya, yayisebenza

ngendlela eyingqonge ngendlela, ekubeni kwezinto ezingenakho ukubonwa, kwinto ebalulekileyo kwabafundi abancinci abangekuzakubonwa.

Ngoko, emva kokubuya kumyalelo wokuqala: yintoni na macala, ngempela?

Yi qhezu leentonga, indlela yomlilo kunye nomgwebo, uxexpression wendlu. Kanti kunjalo, kungase ibe ngento engekhona.

Yi xesha xa uyiphulula ekuseni kwaye umlilo uphuma. Yi nto epholileyo kunye nexabiso okunceda xa uyixhakaxhaka ekuseni.

Yi bumbane bayo ebomini, eyaziya imini neentsasa, iimehla zokuphila kwisidanga sakho.

Kuthi khusela kwiintombazana ezingu-100 ukuba angazihlale ngexesha elizayo.

Yi boniso elucacileyo elinamntwana ngamanani aphantsi kwibhorakhodi yakhe.

Asikukugqitha ukuthengisa ubunzima. Sifuna kuphela xa qhezu lentonga lithethelwa ngobuchule,

xa imisebenzi ihoyweka ngobuchule, xa iqela leentloni linika into efanayo ngeminyaka engu-25—ubuhle bungenza kuyo ngokwalusapho, njengeentyatyambo ezayiza emhlabeni ekuseni.

UQhena waqala kusindiswa. Phambi kokuphuma, wayayigcina igunya eliside.

“Khumbula ukuba ukuba umntu osebenzisa le ndawo,” wathi wayengqondo, “ukuba ilanga libe libulele kakhulu nje, mazilinde kancinci.”

Iqobo libhawu ngomoya wokulwa kwegazi. Nenkosi abantu. Maybelelo: Oku kuthenge kusiyo indawo yokugcina ithuba. Nokuba ithuba lithile, lithi ubuninzi.

Ukuba yonke imigwaqo yasekhaya lakho ibe yinje nje nezibini zegazi. Nokuba ithuba phantsi kweenqwelo zegoli zibonise kwiintsuku ezininzi ezincinci.
