IntroductionI am a river. I flow where I flow. I change. I am the same river. I have different moods, needs, and emotions. Today, I may be a wide, raging torrent. Tomorrow, I may be a shallow, bubbly stream. This afternoon, I may be a deep, calm brook. Next week, I may be a dangerous, but awesome waterfall. With me, I carry my history and future. On my banks is the debris of previous hurts. Floating in me, are the debris of my current pain. On my bottom crawls the dreck of painful traumas. Flowing is who I am. Life and death is a never-ending cycle in me and on my banks. I am a life, and a source of life. I am a place of death. I provide shelter, food, cleansing, refreshment, life… People come to me to eat, to drink, to bath, to rest, to play, to heal… They visit my banks for a moment of romance or meditation. I cannot flow upwards. I cannot fly (I am not an eagle). I can wear through a rock. I can flow around a mountain. I can fall down a cliff - at first, slowly trickling down, then becoming a mighty waterfall... I have endless possibilities. I provide endless possibilities. I am a river…
InterestsReading, working, cleaning, writing, sleeping, eating dark chocolate, 2-hour baths, floating in heated swimming pools, taking snapshots of sunsets, children, walking/strolling, letters written by somebody who actually put some effort into it...
Favorite moviesI still cry when watching the Walt Disney movies like The Lady and the Tramp. The old musicals, like Fiddler on the Roof, transport me to another world. The scene in Hello Vietnam, after a brutal attack the radio plays “wonderful world”, shall always stay with me. The song was always beautiful, but since watching the movie I choke every time I hear it. I love The "Pirates" movies! And the organ music! My favourite genre is the Bollywood movies. I love the drama, I cry right through it. The best of the best is the Three colours trilogy.
Favorite musicI do not hold myself to only one genre. If something is good, it is good. If it is beautiful, it is. As teenager I lived country music, as student it was gospel rock/pop. Highlights remain music from musicals, like Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Music of the night.” Some of the best music was written for films, think Three Colours Blue. I loved the organ music in the "Pirates" movies. Dead man’s chest is brilliant. My radio is on Classic FM. That is my staple food. It is good for me. It does not mean I know Bach from Beethoven, but it is good for me.
Favorite booksF.A. Venter – his descriptions is better than seeing it live. N.P. van Wyk Louw – dramatic but he understood the conflict within man. Kas van den Bergh – was he cynical or overly romantic? P.G. du Plessis and Herman Charles Bosman has a way to understand the nuances of character. Francine Rivers – has a wonderful style. Dr. Seuss - Oh, the places you'll go, is such a simple way of sharing profound truths. In the self help genre - Martha Beck. Poetry - Koos du Plessis.
