Attitude determines altitude. In most
cases people do not reach their full
potential due to negative attitudes that
they have in life. Others tell themselves
that "We failed several times trying to be
successful but now its over and I still can’t
reach my goal." You can reach your
destination if you believe you can. Look
at yourself in the mirror everyday and tell
the person you see that from today
everything is possible no matter what.
Remember you can curse yourself with
your own tongue if you speak negative
things in your life. Encourage yourself
every moment, to think differently than other
days so that you can attract positive things.
You waste time to think of the short fallings
you went through. Take a new turn you will
see your mind will start to manufacture
excellent ideas that will make you a better
person.
To know HellThree moths entered our home the other
evening. I’m not talking about those garden
variety grey ones. These were hauntingly
gorgeous. Their celestial bodies and angel
wings as light as air were the embodiment
of perfection. They flew in formation.
Presenting a most beautiful aerobatic display
of grace and poise, until they tired. I had a
romantic notion that they’d performed for
me. But I suppose they were just being
moths. Flying, feeding and procreating for
the joy of it. Three thoughts formed whilst
I watched their dance. Regret, awe and
ingratitude. Whether these exquisite
creatures die violently and become protein
to birds and bats. Or whether they survive
until old age (two to 11 months), they don’t
regret a single moment of their existence.
They know that there might not be a moment
after this moment. So, they live in the
moment. They live for the moment. They
know it’s futile to dwell on the past or live
in the future. They only have now. And,
they make the most of now. They live. My
second thought was awe. I humbled by
these three magnificent creations. I was in
awe that I got to witness something so
beautiful flit across the skyline of my eye
and give me such joy. Third, I became
mindful that there’s beauty all around me
but that I miss it. I miss the opportunity to
be grateful. I have eyes to see but I don’t
see. I have ears to hear but I don’t hear. I
have touch but I don’t feel. I have the ability
to smell but I don’t smell. I have taste and I
don’t taste. I take this story that has been
written for my pleasure and enchantment for
granted. I really do. I miss the whisper of the
moth. The guileless smile of a child. The
gentle touch of my partner when I’m sick.
The cooling wind in the trees. The coffee
breath of a week-old puppy. The cooing of a
pigeon. The happy gurgling of a baby. My
daughter holding my hand. The tinkling of
piano keys under a child’s fingers. Someone
dancing with abandon. A meal made with
passion. The exquisite pattern on my
cappuccino. The fact that I can afford a
cappuccino. The air I breathe and the water I
drink. I’m such an ingrate and it shames me.
These days I’m seldom in awe. I still regret
things. If I don’t get my act together now it
will make all the difference on how I face the
reaper. Will I be able to give up my life with
grace and say to myself in my final second,
“Job well done.”? Or will I be taken kicking
and screaming with rivulets of regret bleeding
from my eyes because I still have work to do
in this world? The second option is too
ghastly to contemplate because then I’ll truly
know hell.

the sponsors, artists who participate and
of course, the audience. Of course there
was more than classical music on during
the Festival! Wakkerstroom Voices Art
Exhibition displayed a selection of art work
by local artists who live and work in
Wakkerstroom and the surrounding areas.
Artists who exhibited included George
Angus, Matilda Angus, Wendy Cloete,
Pauline Harris, Hardus Koekemoer who was
this years’ Festival artist,Yvonne Lariviere,
Dannie Marais and Carol Preston. The work
was an eclectic mix of media, from ceramics
to mixed media, oils, pastels and acrylics.
The Wakkerstroom Music Festival is proud
to announce the success of their marimba
initiative that commenced in 2016. The
initiative started
with a training
weekend run by
Genevieve Ryan
who is a
p r o f e s s i o n a l
marimba teacher
from Johannes-
burg. The initial
group was made
up off adults from
e S i z a m e l e n i ,
Volksrust and
Wakkerstroom.
The intention was
to teach teachers
who would then
go on to pass the
skills to youth in
the area.
Following from the initial workshop a
group of young children were identified by
Charity Nsibande, who also runs an
afterschool care programme in
eSizameleni. This group has been
practising hard over the years in order to
prepare for their first performance in the
2017 WMF. The initiative is funded by the
WMF and is an ongoing upliftment
programme that aims to provide a space
for youngsters in the area to benefit from
the wonderful discipline of the marimba as
well as skills that could provide for future
opportunities. For more information on the
Festival and the programme, look at
