My oorlede pa, Rudolph Bosch, het \u2019n ding gehad oor sleutels. Hy het daarvan gehou om \u2019n bos sleutels in sy sak te dra, en dus alleen toegang te h\u00ea tot sekere plekke en kaste. Hy het alles toegesluit \u2013 tot die kruidenierswarekas. <\/p>\n
Miskien het dit hom dalk \u2019n gevoel van beheer of mag gegee. Dit het die huismense natuurlike gek gemaak. Dit was nou maar eenmaal sy geit.<\/p>\n
Hy het ook orals sleutels opgetel. Almal in die buurt het geweet van \u2018ou Rudolph\u2019 se tassie vol sleutels. As jy nie in daardie tassie \u2019n sleutel kon kry wat pas nie, het dit nie bestaan nie. <\/p>\n
Ons het goed besef wat die belangrikheid van \u2019n sleutel was \u2013 daarsonder is deure vir jou toe!<\/p>\n
Nadat hy oorlede is het ons vier kinders elk \u2019n versameling sleutels geneem, en dit mooi laat raam. Daarin is sleutels van ons voordeur, die klein telefoonsleuteltjie, groot pophuisdeursleutel, die linnekas se sleutel, \u2019n soort sleutel van \u2019n treinkompartement se deur, en ook my skooltas se sleutel \u2013 om maar \u2019n paar te noem. <\/p>\n
Op my koffietafel l\u00ea die origes, wat gewoonlik \u2019n geselspunt word. <\/p>\n
Toe my kinders klein was het hulle tot vervelens na die kinderliedjie Sleutels<\/span> van Mynie Grov\u00e9 geluister. Sy sing, \u201csleutels maak deure oop sodat ons daardeur kan loop. Dan volg sleutels wat jy kan gebruik sodat almal van jou sal hou. <\/span><\/p>\n Die eerste een is vir asseblief, vra net mooi my hartedief. Dankie s\u00ea jy agterna \u2013 so moet jy die sleutel dra. <\/p>\n Die tweede een sluit by dit aan, \u2018m\u00f4re\u2019 wanneer jy opstaan, \u2018nags\u00ea\u2019 as jy saans gaan slaap, \u2018goeiemiddag, goeienag\u2019. <\/p>\n En dan kom die groot les met sleutels.<\/span> <\/p>\n \u201cDie mooiste sleutel van die lot, pas op byna elke slot. Dis een van bedagsaamheid, dan het almal vir jou tyd.\u201d<\/p>\n Dink maar net hoe belangrik is die draai van \u2019n sleutel wat pas in die slot van \u2019n gevangenisdeur. Die sleutel na vryheid is is kosbaar.<\/p>\n Ek loop nou die dag die opsigter by die Ho\u00ebrskool Nico Malan op Humansdorp raak. Hy het tientalle sleutels aan koorde om sy nek. <\/p>\n \u201cJitte, jy moet \u2019n baie belangrike persoon wees! Om vertrou te word met so baie sleutels,\u201d maak ek \u2019n geselsie.<\/p>\n \u201cJa,\u201d lag hy en trek sy wenkbroue op terwyl hy die spul laat klingel, \u201cMaar dis nou net die \u2018key to happiness\u2019 wat nie hier by is nie.\u201d Ons skerts oor die spulletjie. <\/p>\n Vir tien jaar lank al sluit Louis Vosloo elke oggend en elke middag sowat sestig deure oop en toe. Hy weet hoe dit kan lol as \u2019n sleutel nie pas nie. Oor die jare het hy al \u2019n stelsel ontwikkel om sommer in \u2019n japtrap die regte sleutel raak te vat.<\/p>\n Daar is ook die spreekwoordelike sleutel tot sukses en \u2019n sleutel tot toekoms en wat nie als nie. Die sleutel tot geluk is seker die heel belangrikste sleutel waarna ons almal soek. <\/p>\n Nou wonder mens soms wie loop met die sleutel na jou hart in sy sak rond. Dalk het jy die sleutel tot iemand anders se geluk in jou sak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My oorlede pa, Rudolph Bosch, het \u2019n ding gehad oor sleutels.
