Isithombe: Imango evuthiwe egatsheni lesihlahla

Ulengiswe kahle ekugoneni kombhede wawo oluhlaza, umango osesithombeni ucwebezela ukunotha okukhanga iso ngokushesha, ubuso bawo obusagolide obusawolintshi bubenyezela ukufudumala okusikisela ukuvuthwa phezulu. Izithelo, eziminyene futhi ezikhangayo, zilenga kahle egatsheni njengokungathi zizungezwe imvelo ngokwayo, kuyilapho ukukhanya kwelanga kugeleza phakathi kwamahlamvu aminyene, kuphonsa ukukhanya okukhazimulayo nxazonke zaso. Indlela ukukhanya okuhluza ngayo emaqabunga futhi kuhlukaniseke kube yimishayo ethambile esikhumbeni esibushelelezi sikamango idala ukukhanya okungokwemvelo, njengokungathi ilanga ngokwalo likhethe lesi sithelo ukuthi lisigubhe. Uhlaza oluluhlaza ngemuva, oluminyene ngokuphila kanye nobungqabavu bezindawo ezishisayo, lubeka umehluko ophelele ngokumelene nombala ogqamile, osagolide wemango, okuthuthukisa kokubili ubuhle bawo nomoya wokuzola oyizungezile. Yonke imininingwane yokusondelana—izimbotshana ezicashile esikhumbeni, amajika abushelelezi okuma kwawo, ukuhleleka okuntekenteke kwewolintshi elincibilika libe phuzi eduze kwemiphetho yaso—igcizelela ukusha nokunameka kwesithelo, imema imicabango yokunambitheka okumnandi, okunamanzi okulindile ngaphakathi.

Ukwakheka kwalesi sigcawu kuzwakala kusondele futhi kunwebeka. Nakuba umango ufuna ukunakwa njengendawo okugxilwe kuyo, amaqabunga azungezile ahlebeza umuzwa wokulinganisela, enza isithelo ngaphandle kokusibekela. Izithunzi zabo eziluhlaza ezijulile, eziqokonyiswa lapha nalaphaya ngokuqabula kokukhanya kwelanga, zisikisela impilo nokondleka kwesihlahla esikhulise lesi sithelo saze savuthwa. Umkhathi uphethe umuzwa wokuzola, cishe wokuzindla, njengokungathi isikhathi ngokwaso siyancipha kulo mzuzu ngaphansi kwelanga elishisayo. Kukhona ukuxhumana phakathi kokukhanya nesithunzi okuzwakala kucishe kufane, nokukhanya okuthambile okumboza isithelo futhi kusinikeze i-aura ethambile, ekhazimulayo. Kulula ukucabanga ukuhwashaza kwamaqabunga njengoba kuheleza umoya, iphunga lomhlaba ofudumele nezithelo zihlangana emoyeni, yonke indawo ezungezile ikhuluma ngokuvumelana okungaphelelwa yisikhathi kwemvelo.

Uma ubheka eduze, isikhumba sikamango, nakuba sibonakala sintekenteke, sinesithembiso sokondliwa nokuba nempilo. Iwolintshi layo eliqhakazile, elivame ukuhlotshaniswa namandla, imfudumalo, nokuchichima, alibonisi nje kuphela izinzuzo zezempilo ezingokomzimba zesithelo kodwa futhi uphawu lwamasiko lokuchuma nenjabulo omango ngokuvamile olumelela ezindaweni ezishisayo. Lesi sithelo segolide besinakekelwa amakhulu eminyaka, sigujwa ngamasiko, ukudla okudliwayo, nezindaba, futhi lapha, kulesi sithombe esilula kodwa esijulile, umuntu angezwa ukuthi ifa lihlala lithule ngemuva. Ukukhanya kwelanga okugeza umango akukhona nje ukukhanya okungokoqobo—kufanekisela ukuphila, ukukhula, nomjikelezo onganqamuki wemvelo okhiqiza lezi zimangaliso.

Ukuzola kwalesi sikhathi esithathwe lapha kudlulela ngalé kobuhle obubonakalayo; ikhuluma ngokuhlobana okujulile phakathi kwezithelo, isihlahla, ilanga nomhlaba. Umango awugcini nje ukulenga kodwa ucishe ubengezela ngesithunzi esithule, ohlanganisa umvuthwandaba wokukhulisa izinkathi zonyaka, izimvula, nemisebe yelanga okwawenza waba khona. Ukukhanya kwemvelo, okuthambile kodwa okunamandla, kuthuthukisa ukuyenga kwesithelo ngaphandle kokwenziwa, kusikhumbuza ngobuhle obungahlungiwe bomhlaba wemvelo. Kuyisikhumbuzo esimnene kodwa esimangalisayo sendlela ukuphila okuchuma ngayo uma kushiywe kuhambisana nendawo ekuzungezile. Ukwakheka kwalo akukhuthazi nje ukwazisa ubuhle bomango obubonakalayo kodwa futhi nokuzindla ngezimangaliso ezithule ezenzeka nsuku zonke ezingadini zezithelo nasemahlathini asezindaweni ezishisayo, lapho ukukhanya kwelanga nenhlabathi kubambisana buthule ukuze sikuphe ukudla.
