REBLOGGED: Before Memory Fades | Voordat Geheue Vervaag

MY NEW BLOG

I launched my new blog, The Braided Echo, yesterday. The site is linked to Jetpack, and new blogs should appear on the WP Reader. For some inexplicable reason, my first blog did not appear in the Reader. Therefore, this reblog is to make you aware of the blog and to link you to the first blog.

Please note that The Braided Echo is bilingual. Blogs are available in English (the dominant language) and Afrikaans. Audio clips are also attached in both languages for each blog.

The first blog is titled Before Memory Fades: The Story of Three Lives Intertwined Across Generations in English | Voordat Geheue Vervaag: Die Verhaal van Drie Lewens wat Oor Generasies Heen Verweef Is in Afrikaans.

EXCERPT / UITTREKSEL

There are threads that weave quietly through our lives, subtle, persistent, and unnoticed until we pause long enough to trace them. In the stories of my mother, myself and my daughter, I’m beginning to see how deeply our lives are interwoven, shaped by shared experiences, choices, and echoes across generations.

Daar is drade wat stilweg deur ons lewens weef, subtiel, aanhoudend en ongemerk totdat ons lank genoeg stilstaan ​​om hulle na te spoor. In die stories van my ma, myself en my dogter begin ek sien hoe diep ons lewens verweef is, gevorm deur gedeelde ervarings, keuses en eggo’s oor generasies heen.
