April
Pattern of Everything
time called Easter,
eat and drink of this one miracle
death – resurrection – renewal.
pattern of everything
to befriend and embrace.
and now,
not one miracle,
but
everything a miracle.
Wim’s trip to South Africa had him breathe out some weariness on a farm called Salem, in a small bungalow, all on his own; walk bare foot in the sand to watch the displays of color at dawn and dusk. Simply peace.
Then came the waiting and more waiting in ques for the bank-man and the tax-man. Family and friendships were celebrated around coffee with cake and countless barbeques.
The final touch of South Africa for this month was the time to vote at the South African embassy in Brussels. We have hope for this pattern of everything in our beloved country – renewal.
