Ingabe umhlaba wezibonelo unokuhlobana yini nendlela umuntu akwazi ngayo ukwenza izibonelo? Yini ngempela iqiniso ngalokhu kwenza izibonelo?…
Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
Izwe lezibonelo,
izwe eliphakathi kwezwe lemimoya nezwe lezinto ezibonakalayo
njengoba kuchaziwe.
Njengoba kukhona izibonelo ezincane zeminye imihlaba, kukhona nesisibonelo esincane salomhlaba kumuntu. Kusukela ku-Nur Külliyatı, lesi sibonelo,
“iphupho”
Siyakuqonda.
Lapho sicabanga ngomuzi esake sawuvakashela, umfanekiso walowo muzi uyakheka emqondweni wethu. Lona muzi uqobo lwawo uvela emhlabeni wemibono, kanti umfanekiso wawo usemhlabeni wemifanekiso.
Uma simi phambi kwesibuko, sibona abantu ababili. Omunye uqinisile, omunye uyisibonakaliso.
Ngokusekelwe kulezi zibonelo, singasho ukuthi,
Kukhona elinye izwe lapho yonke into, yonke imicimbi esiyibona kuleli zwe, inesibonelo sayo.
Futhi kulelo zwe,
izwe lemifanekiso
kuyashiwo.
Umhlaba wezibonelo uqine kakhulu kunomhlaba wemimoya; kodwa uqine kancane kunalomhlaba obonakalayo.
Ngokwemvelo yayo, ifana ne-isthmus phakathi kwemihlaba emibili.
Ngiyabingelela ngithandazela…
