Hoe ongelooflik vinnig verander mens segemoed nie na die rustige Kerstyd en ontspanbydie huis nie. Ek het probeer om 'n voorneme te maak om nie toe te laat datdie daaglikse "triggers" van die lewe my sogouopwerk nie. Maar o wee, "probeer" was 'n grap! Sommer onmiddellik toedie werk begin het en alles terugkeer na "normaal" toe, was ek maar my ouself. So, wie is hierdie ou self?

Kom ek steekgou'n prekie vir myself af. Ongeduld bring jou nêrens nie. Ek is nie trots op my gedrag as ek alleen is en geïrriteerd raak met iets nie, en boonopsopaar knope los.

“'n Geduldige mens is baie verstandig; een wat kort van draad is, stel sy dwaasheid ten toon.” (Spr. 14:29)

Ek weet datvroulief onmiddellik vir my bid vir rustigheidas dit gebeur en dit lyk my daardie gebedewerk nogalsoms! Dis egter een ding as dit gebeur as jy byjouself is, maar as jy dit voor ander doen, of jou frustrasie op ander uithaal, wys dit eintlik maar net hoe dwaas jy is.

Was jy ookal in iemand se geselskaptydens 'n uiteet uitstappieen die persoonraak ongeskik met die kelner? Dit plaas mens in 'n ongelooflike ongemaklike situasie. Ek kan dit net nie hanteer nie, en saleerder nooit weer saam met so iemand gaan uiteet nie. En nie eers te praat van padwoedenie. Nou kyk, hierdie is 'n lelike ding! Gelukkig spandeerek min tyd opdie pad.

Ek dink Jesus het'n geweldige sagtegees gehaden mens sien dit raak as jy lees in die Evangelies waar Hy aan die woord was. Ek glo hy het selfs die Fariseërs berispe op 'n kalm en bedaarde manier en dikwels met 'n glimlag. Ek glo ook datHy selfs tydens ons eie uitbarstings met deernis na ons kyk en sê:Rustig vriend, die lewe is te kort vir hierdie gedrag.

Daardie truukwat sêjy moet tot10 tel voor jy negatief reageer werk goed. Maar kyk, ek hounie van somme nie. Miskien moet ek iets byvoegbymy eie tien tellings, nl. om net te bid: “Here, help my om net vir 'n oomblik kalm te raak".

Zahn –Somerson

Die Centurion-sangeres Zahn lui die laaste twee maande van die somer in met ’n splinternuwe sonskynpopsnit, Somerson, wat ’n mens laat dink aan druppende sjokolade roomys, die reuk van sonbrandolie en sweet-warm dae op een van ons land se strande Zahn het die afgelope dekade bekend geword vir haar lewendige, poplekkerkonserte en haar diep donker Lindt-sjokoladestem waarmee sy enige liedjie – óf dit nou ’n bekende snit ofeen van haar eie liedjies is – met musikale gemakkan sing. Zahn het in 2019 gedebuteer met haar eerste album Masker wat goed deur die plaaslike musiekmark ontvang is. Sedertdien het syverskeie enkelsnitte waaronder ’n Hart weer heelmaak, Dishoe jy die wêreld verander en Vergifnislei na vrede uitgereik. Die drie snitte – wat as ’n trilogie beskou kon word – was haar sogenaamde rou-musiek. Musiek en woorde wat dié sangeres moes help met haar eiegenesingsproses. Syis,byvoorbeeld as kind geboelie, en het eers deur haar liedjies vergifnis en vrede gevind. Zahn het dit reggekry om die afgelope paar jaar verskeie musikale gedaanteverwisselings te ondergaan, en daarom het sy dit ook reggekry om altyd relevant in die Afrikaanse musiekmark te bly. Sy het ook deur ‘n pynlike groeiproses gemorfeer tot ‘n sangeres wat luisteraars met haarmusikale weerloosheid ontroer Dit is ook waarom haar kontemporêre popliedjies so goed met haar geresoneer het. Sy spot dat sy nou vir eers klaar is met haar sogenaamde roumusiek of“donkerder ballades” en dat sy lus was om iets so warm soos ’n heerlike sonskyndag uit te reik. Syhet haar ritmiese pen by die van die sangers Ruan Tennant en Roux Cloete gevoeg en die resultaat was Somerson - ’n ligter liedjie wat ’n metafoor is vir ’n gelukkige warm plek. “Die liedjie se boodskap is geluk, “vertel Zahn. “As mense na die liedjie luister moet hulle voete onmiddellik begin beweeg. Hulle gedagtes moet na ’n braaivleisvuur, ’n blou swembad of ’n vakansie by die see beweeg “ Op ’n meer figuurlike vlak kan die liedjie ook beskou word as Zahn se “sonnige terugkeer,“ waar sy die mantel van die hartseer en pyn (die winter) van haar skouers afgegooi het en nou net na die son toe hardloop. “Ons vergeet soms dat na ’n koue winter, die warm son altyd weer sal skyn. “Dié hitte van dié son, wat ook raakbeskryfword, in die koorgedeelte van die snit: ... “Somerson wat nader kom, kry alles reg, is jy gereed vir die somerson wat nader kom? “Die tyd is reg vir ’n nuwe seisoen, ook in my eie lewe, “verklap Zahn. “Die somer is ook die ideale seisoen vir nuwe ritmes, nuwe liedjies Allesis sommer so nuut en vars in die somer. Zahn se musiek het nog altyd die manier waarop sy haar lewe lei – soms ’n donderwolk en anderkeer die blitsende son –vergestalt Somerson wyk dus ook nie afvan haar wipplankresep nie. Dit is ’n lekker dansliedjie wat luisteraars beslisaan die beweeg gaan kry. “Ek hoop regtig mense vind aanklank by die liedjie Ek is baie trots op die eindproduk; dit is ietsheeltemal anders. “Zahn is ‘n stem wat al lank in diemusiekbedryf weerklink en sy sal ook nie gou stil raak nie. Met Somerson gaan sy beslis ’n nuwe paar musiekharte verower
