N21 KYM N21 KYM WPC Reflecting: Changing Perspective - Dis Ekke
Posted by HesterLeyNel on 2017-05-21 34 Comments
This is a picture of my son and I, captured by my daughter during a recent visit to the Mzamba Fossils and Petrified Forest on the Wild Coast (I’ll elaborate on this adventure in my next post).
Our colorful reflections behind us remind me of our relationship spanning almost four decades: the ups and downs, the struggle for control within our relationship as well as the quest for inner control, the periods of uneasy peace, but also the close connection that still holds strong.
Our shadows stretching out in front of us attest to the fact that the future is unknown, but not to be feared.
Above all, when I look at this picture, I realise that my son has learned to fly solo and has become his own man, and that is how it should be.
💗 you and thank you for starring in my blog posts.
Dis nou n pragtige refleksie. Ek hou van die vergelyking tussen die refleksie agter en skaduwee wat vooruit strek. Beslis n wenner die een!
Dankie. My dogter het so ‘n paar tree agter ons geloop en die foto geneem. Ons was baie verras toe sy dit afgelaai en ons dit die eerste keer gesien het.
Hester, hierdie is ń baie,baie goeie post van jou. Jou opregtheid en insig, jou liefde vir jou mense, raak so aan my hart. Ek het vandag nodig gehad om hierdie te lees, want ek loop met ń ongerustheid in my rond oor een van my kinders. Jy laat my besef dat, watter kant toe ook al, mens tog op ń plek van aanvaarding kan kom. Dat die band tussen ons gesin elke gebeurtenis en keuse sal kan oorkom. Al voel die onbekende vir my baie scary op die oomblik.
Dankie, ek is bly ek het dit geskryf, want gewoonlik vermy ek persoonlike emosies in my blogs. Net so nou en dan gryp iets my aan dat dit moet aanspreek, soos hierdie foto. ‘n Mens (veral ‘n ma) is maar altyd bekommerd oor haar kinders. Soms probeer ons help of gee raad waar dit nie op die oomblik gepas en welkom is nie. Dit is dan wanneer jy moet gaan sit en kalm word oor die verhouding. Solank jou kind weet dat jou liefde standhoudend is, sal daar altyd ‘n band wees.
So gesonde verhouding – ek delete sommer dadelik die blog waarmee ek nou besig is na die lees van joune.
Nee man, praat jou gemoed uit, dit laat jou beter voel. Hou net vas (en laat gaan wanneer nodig) en jy sal sien, op ‘n dag val alles net reg in plek.
Ai, so mooi… letterlik en figuurlik! Dankie… 😉
Hi Hester – Your initial quotation reminded me of another quote “I’ve been trying to to change my husband’s habits for the past 30 years, but he’s no longer the man I married!”
Whaha, that’s a good one.
The comment of colinandray reminded me me of a lesson on Homophones by my high school English teacher. This was her quirky illustration of her point:
The bridegroom is stood waiting for the bride, looking at things around him, thinking:
“Aisle, altar, hymn.”
The bride enters the church, looking at the groom, thinking:
Hehe, I can just picture that in my mind. You know what? I could never understand the urge to change the person that you married. Why not be happy with the person you fell in love with? On the other hand, I suppose it’s possible that some unwanted characteristics in the partner surface only after the honeymoon.
Ek en my seun het nog ‘n ver pad om te loop.
En die pad is nooit reguit nie. Ek hoop dat die afdraaipaadjies mooi herinneringe sal inhou en dat die reis voorspoedig sal wees.
What a beautifully expressed, soul-touching piece! Your picture brings your words to life, and vice versa. It is indeed a tale of Faith, Hope and
– above all – Love.
As the mum of three young boys, this is exactly what I needed to read today. Many many thanks for sharing something so personal and precious!
ń Baie mooi post. Dankie dat jy dit met ons gedeel het xxx
🙂 Dankie dat jy gelees het.
Dis was vir my ń plesier, dankie.
So beautiful, Hester! Past, present and future expressed, with feet firmly planted in the present. Lovely! 😉 xoM
A lovely reflection and a photo token with love.

What a beautiful reflection. It’s even more beautiful due to connection between two of you. Lovely shot, Hester..
Hierdie het my geraak Hester. Baie mooi
Beautiful picture, wonderful (written) reflection…
Thank you Anuscka 😀
Hou baie van die woorde van Thomas Merton. Hierdie is n groot wysheid, waarmee baie van ons sukkel. Veral wat ons kinders aanbetref.
Dit is die treffende waarheid, ja.
