#G20shutdown is a demand that the patriarchy and misogyny ends. Now.

I am tired of being resilient. I am tired of living in fear. I want full equality. All I askfor now is that you leave me in peace to be me. Is that so hard?

Listening to Dr Jacob Cloete talking about his book. Such important work being done to raise the uncomfortable issues.

We can never forget the evil and horror from which we come.

Someone asked me how I deal with the trauma that surrounds us. I don’t know. Perhaps in the darkness, I know that the African sun will rise on one more day.

Steve Biko was murdered by the apartheid state 48 years ago today. This week the NPA (at last) announced an inquiry into his death.

We can never forget the price that was paid for freedom.

It seems like more than a year … Your memory echoes through time. I miss your wisdom and smile. Rest well.

I am heartbroken at the loss of my colleague, Jan Hofmeyr. He will be missed.

Remember (Christina Rossetti)

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

In Newcastle and Escort signs of chemical pollution from mining are clear, with livestock grazing near contaminated areas, and nearby households relying on the same polluted water. Residents are also experiencing increased lung-related health issues.

Why do you seek the living among the dead?

If might is right, then love has no place in this world (The Mission).

Fr Terrance Klein:

On the night before he died, Jesus revealed the work of the Trinity, the depth of its love. The portals of death are breached, and hell itself is plundered—and all of this, just to bring back the beloved.

Being so familiar, I sometimes forget the power and the meaning of these words.

As we navigate our way through a world that is increasingly chaotic, these words have particular resonance with me at the moment.

Wishing everyone the most blessed and grace-filled week ahead.

My favourite quotation on #hope.

Reconciliation in South Africa has meant many things—peace, forgiveness, justice—but is it still relevant today? As youth contest its meaning, we ask:

Do we need or want reconciliation in a post-1994 South Africa?
