Is daar vreugde te vind in wasgoed? Dit is \u2019n sleurtaak met dieselfde hoofkenmerk as enige huishou-werkie: Dit kry eenvoudig nooit einde nie. Want het jy \u2019n dag lank geleef, het jy klere gedra en moet di\u00e9 gewas en versorg en weggeb\u00eare word. Of ten minste opgehang, netjies oor \u2019n stoel se rugleuning gegooi of op die allerminste met die hand platgestryk en reggesit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ondanks die gedagte dat \u2019n mens dankbaar behoort te wees dat jy so \u2019n rykdom het om na om te sien, en die besef dat jy jou se\u00ebninge maar saam met elke kledingstuk kan tel, stoei \u2019n mens daarmee dat die swart gat wat elke nou en dan \u2019n sokkie se maat insluk, ook kosbare tyd verslind wat jy dalk liewer aan iets anders kon bestee het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die een sal s\u00ea: Asseblief, net nie ophang nie. Nee wag, nog voor dit: Wie is dan nou lus om die berg te sorteer? Die ander een verpes opvou en wegpak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kan die vuil berg nie maar net as \u2019n skoon berg voortleef, met \u2019n sporadiese gesoek wanneer iets nodig is nie? Kreukels en frustrasie en algemene sindelikheid skud met \u2019n frons en \u2019n swaaiende wysvinger kop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soek vir jou \u2019n vrou wat kan stryk, verbeel ek my die raad in \u2019n besorgde moederstem. Met daarna \u2019n oorverdowende gesug van die ganse vrouedom \u2013 want di\u00e9 wat nie kan nie, sukkel hulle flou, en di\u00e9 wat kan, wil nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of wag, kom ons laat ruimte vir die manne en vroue wat dit wel met \u2019n lied in die hart doen. In hul geval is dit nie \u2019n sug wat ek hoor nie, maar die geluksalige geluid van die vuurwarm yster wat stoom afblaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek is opvouer. Een vir wegb\u00eare. Vir ophang sien ek ook kans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het dalk iets te doen met my liefde vir alleenwees, en die wasgoedlyn is een plek waar almal wegbly, sou hulle dalk in die werk gesteek word. Weens die daaglikse harwar is ek selfs soms in die nag daarmee besig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prent jou nou in: Dit is donker, en die wasgoed is nat en koud, en die pennetjies so moedswillig soos altyd, maar daar is die maan. En wolke wat jy nooit kans kry om s\u00f3 te sien nie \u2013 silwerig en deursigtig. Daar is die onverwagse reuk van braaivleis op \u2019n weeksaand, of die geluid van musiek uit \u2019n motor in die straat af. Bedags is daar die son wat \u2019n rukkie op jou kan skyn sonder dat jy aan die draf is na die volgende plek of taak. En al in die ganse w\u00eareld wat op daardie oomblik van jou verwag word, is: ophang; vassteek; nog \u2019n keer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die plaas was die wasgoedlyn by die moerbeibome. Wind en sonbesies en koeltekolle wat dans. Hier kon dit wel soms voel asof die son \u2019n gat tussen jou blaaie brand, maar dan was daar ook die vreugde van klere wat na son ruik. In die stad is die wasgoedlyn die soort wat in die rondte draai. Wat my laat glimlag vir geen rede. En selfs sy senuversnipperende geskreeu as hy olie kort, is soos musiek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saam met water wat in die masjien tap, of uitstroom as uitspoelwater buite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die moderne wasmasjien speel nie verniet \u2019n deuntjie wanneer hy klaar gewas het nie. Selfs sy hart is vol vreugde. Anders het hy mos net gepiep soos \u2019n mikrogolf, of hoe?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
