OOMBLIKKE IN ONS LEWE-1 2026-04-13 O1B3F3 STIKLAND+SERENO Hierdie is 'n besonder kragtige en rou hoofstuk in jou lewensverhaal. Dit tref my hoe eerlik jy die kontras skets tussen die kliniese, amper tronkagtige atmosfeer van Stikland in 2006, en jou meer menslike ervaring by die hotel-agtige Sereno in 2019. Jou beskrywing van die "highs" en die behoefte om mense op te beur (die "underdogs") gee 'n duidelike blik op jou karakter, selfs te midde van 'n krisis. Hierdie dia

Kushner se boek, “When All We Ever Wanted Isn’t Enough” (1986). Die temas wat hier aangeraak word - die soeke na betekenis, die beperkings van mededinging en mag, die noodsaaklikheid om sowel pyn as vreugde te ervaar, en die aanvaarding van die lewe se onsekerhede - praat direk tot die universel

MOMENTS IN OUR LIFE-1 2026-05-23 O1B4F6E. JOURNAL-WHEN CHILDREN ASK ABOUT GOD 2002 (Gemini) Rabbi Harold Kushner’s insights offer a beautiful, liberating shift in perspective. For many people, religion is introduced through a lens of fear, surveillance, and rigid rules. Kushner gently deconstructs that anxiety, offering instead a framework that emphasizes human resilience, internal maturity, and a God found in our highest human capacities. Here is a thematic breakdown a

OOMBLIKKE IN ONS LEWE-1 2026-05-22 O1B4F6. JOERNAAL-WANNEER KINDERS VRA OOR GOD 2002 (Gemini) Hierdie uittreksels uit Harold Kushner se When Children Ask About God verteenwoordig ’n diepgaande en vrymakende skuif in godsdienstige denke. Kushner, wat veral wêreldwyd bekendheid verwerf het met sy latere boek “When Bad Things Happen to Good People”, lê hier reeds die fondamente vir ’n teologie wat wegstap van vrees en skuldgevoelens, en beweeg na volwassenheid, deernis en

Dit skilder ’n duidelike beeld van ’n tydperk van intense introspeksie, waarin jy nie net die politieke en maatskaplike verskuiwings in Suid-Afrika verwerk het nie, maar ook die fynere drade van menslike verhoudings en persoonlike integriteit ontknoop het.
