my life now - in an image

these are some images from the web that caught my eye, I sifted through them, cut and pasted this wednesday illustration... my thoughts in image.

My life now - in a quote...

I read the following quote this morning. My experience and life reference at the moment is summed up in this quote. When I read it all of my Spirit and life energy shouted yes with it! Finding words that seem to paint your inner experience of the way you experience your life now, is the best kind of discovery!

Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life you are slowly turning this central thing into either a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature.

-C.S Lewis

For me this quote confronts me with my broken human reality, the urgency of making the most with what I'm given - soaked in hope of becoming what God intended me to be...

Jozi Heights

Carlton Centre in Joburg CBD

If you've never been to joburg city centre, or attempted the heights of the Carlton Centre (the highest builing in Africa!) Then it comes highly recommended. Felt like a tourist in my own country in Jozi CBD, but was awesome to be in the hub of the city and looking over 360 degrees of the buzzing city!

My hands are small I know...

The door to the new Constitutional Court is carved with the imagery of hands, sign language and the 11 languages of our nation. The hands are a fitting symbol of the contribution we have in building into our country and people.

The jozi day trippers on the right :)

jozi - visual poetry

I spent last Saturday in Jozi with some friends. We did Joburg in tourist style and got to know our neighbouring city from a different angle. One of our visits was to the newly built and renovated Constitutional Hill. It's well worth the visit! The contrast of the jail, apartheid history and shocking stories of our past, with that of the new Constitutional Court designed in unity and collaboration, harmony of all our cultures, races that colour our country - lifted and inspired me in hope on reflection.

The photo's and poetry were inspired by the miracle our country has emerged from and the privilege we have to live in this colourful concrete jungle - now.

imagine if...

If we were in a indi rock band this is what we'd look like? hmmmmmm
I forgot how much fun it is to dress up and take on a new persona - raaaaa!
Beunette needed a 'rock band' photoshoot for a project, she took these on film, so this is raw film production - we enjoyed the results!

Niiiice ;)

now all we need are some constructed songs and then we'll be a vacume packed emo-indi band pronto!
any name suggestions?
