In case you have fallen by the wayside of life
Dreams and visions shattered, you're all broken inside
You don't have to stay in the shape that you're in
The potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again

In case your situation has turned upside down
And all that you've accomplished is now on the ground
You don't have to stay in the shape that you're in
The potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again

You who are broken, stop by the potter's house
You who need mending, stop by the potter's house
Give Him the fragments of your broken life
My friend, the potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again

Joy in the potter's house
Peace in the potter's house
Love in the potter's house

There is salvation in the potter's house
There is healing in the potter's house
There is deliverance in the potter's house
You'll find everything you need in the potter's house

The potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again

Everyday is made for living
Loving
Truly
Without the disruption of fear

Everyday
With my chest exposed
My thumping heart heard and seen
Beating at the thrill of an embrace 
I love and receive love

Who says this is a chore?
A wasteful and dangerous exercise?
It is I,
The woman whose thumping heart felt a jaded knife sinking deeply
Through every vein and artery 
Sinking mercilessly
I felt it. I still remember.

Life is made for living 
Loving
Again and again we find mercy, healing and forgiveness at its feet
Always, now and forever. 
My heart remembers the joy more than it does the pain
I'm healed
It remembers its embrace
I'm forgiven
My arms are open once again
I will love
I was born to love
Everyday
I was born to love

For Dear Dr. Angelou



Dr. Maya Angelou (1928-2014)

I’ve learnt to be a woman
I’ve learnt not to be burdened with shame
I am made for living
For loving
I am made woman

My kindness is my strength,
No need to hide it out of fear,
My intelligence is for nations
I’ll share it with every boy, girl, man and woman
I am made, woman.
Made to serve my nation
Made to serve the purpose of my Master

Mama Angelou flew
With her feet both on the ground
Her heart gave her words wings to fly,
To sore over the cold tumultuous oceans,
Passed the highest mountains
By-passed stringent security systems to find me
Her words found me
In search of tangible knowledge, her words found me.
She called me Phenomenal Woman

I am made, woman
Phenomenal woman
Capacious woman
Visible woman
Diverse woman
I am what I am

Your words found me Khulu,
They reaffirmed the qualities which existed within,
They say I am enough
Just as I am
I am enough
Your word have contributed to this growth
Your words will continue to build me
I am enough

You were every woman

Rest in peace, my love.

Hi, when last?

*Awkward smile*

When last indeed?

The last time I shared my journey was in February, we are now in May & soon approaching June! Ordinarily I would condemn myself for not writing for such a long time but neglect the plausible reasons which justify my silence. This is by no means a veiled apology, it's just me putting it out there, I was living, a lot.

So it has been close to 3 months not talking to myself publicly (Blogging to me is essentially me time but in public) and a lot has happened. A lot of myself has been revealed to me but above that I have seen and experienced redemptive qualities the human race has, although I feel that I have been the most angriest, disillusioned and "angst", I will say that God's glory has been manifesting through people in my favour. I am utterly grateful. This year does actually feel like a new chapter with characters from previous chapters playing a more meaningful role in my life, friendships which were at a stale mate due to the fleeting process of time are now more present than they ever were before and I am becoming more aware of the complexity of being a human being. There's so much work which needs to be done everyday because each moment informs the next. Nothing can be left to chance but by grace our actions do not necessarily determine our breakthroughs, not entirely. God knows our purpose, we just need to know it and be unapologetically protective of it because it is the only valid reason why we are alive.

There's an overwhelming sense to write more, share more, pray more and engage God on issues concerning the human journey here on earth. There is a need to question and ask Him what is this thing that He want us to do, that He ultimately want us to become before we reunite with Him in heaven. The church, in its varied institutions can't tap into the collect heart of the people and thus, can't deal with intrinsic issues which we try mystify behind our jobs & various obsessions etc. I've seen the value of grabbing onto wisdom which comes from people, once you've arrived on unfamiliar territory you learn very, very quickly not to be picky in terms of who gives you wisdom. The knowledge and wisdom of God is everywhere and it is available to you if you choose to listen.

I hope to write more, share more and listen. I hope this post reaches those who need it most. We are burdened by many ordeals everyday, we are in need of hope and grace every single day.

Jesus is King
We are because He is.

"Jezebel" by Sade





She sings songs of my heart
Sade Adu
Picture taken from: www.candiano.com



Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had less than every one of us
But when she knew how to walk she knew
How to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down

Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress
How did you get that?
"Do you really want to know", she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
Had nothing to lose, she said it was worth it

Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
"Every winter was a war", she said
"I want to get what's mine"

Jezebel, Jezebel
Won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
And the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
She'll say, "You don't know what you've been missing"
By the time she blinks you know she won't be listening

"Reach for the top", she said
"And the sun is gonna shine"
"Every winter was a war", she said
"I want to get what's mine"

Day 6: My 60 Day Challenge!

So I decided to go on this fitness and healthy journey 6 days ago and the only thing I've managed to do thus far is to eat according to the guidelines I've set for myself. Yesterday I gave myself a yummy treat: fried steak! With the fatty part skillfully spiced and crisp-yum! Today I'm pretty much chugging down litres of water as a consequence.

The day after I announced that I'm embarking on this 60-day challenge I worked myself to a stand-still! I googled some cardio work-outs and was a zombie an hour later! I haven't worked out since because I know tI have teabo today at 17h30 and I realised that I need a gym-buddy. I need someone who will motivate me and someone I can motivate as well. I have three people in mind that I need to communicate with, namely: Nyiko Mgiba who is studying at the University of Johannesburg, his younger brother Ntsako who is going to study at the University of Cape Town and Thandiwe Mqokeli, a trainee performer at the Steve Biko Center in Ginsberg. Thandiwe is also an instructor at our Tuesday and Thursday amateur contemporary dance classes. Nyiko inspires me cause he constantly updates his bbm friends (which I am one of) on his exercise regime and his progress. His younger brother Ntsako challenges him and little Ntsaks has a six-pack, so best believe I want that backing on this challenge, Thandiwe is a passionate performer who is well on her way to getting a rock-hard body like world-renowned South African Dancer Mamela Nyamza. Mamela is FIRE and her physic is a BLAZING INFERNO! I need to go ICU every time my eyes catch sight of her body. Fat fears her body, hence it buuurrrnnssss :-)

I am really excited about this challenge but I need to work on the fitness element of this challenge, I currently follow blogs which inspire me to work harder, "Fitness Barbie" and "Attempting Skinny" are Tumblr blogs worth checking out! "Fitness Barbie" has a cardio work-out which consists of sprinting- I would love to try that out! I have a knee issue but I can't let it paralyse me from having the body I want and leading an active lifestyle. My faith needs to grow for it to be completely healed. I hate running but I would rather perfect my running abilities before I'm put in a situation where I have to run (I don't want to look like an awkward non-runner). The thing is, I usually leave the house at 07h15 and this would mean that I will have to wake up at like 05h15 so I can be on the road by 05h30! Aaaaaah *inserts whaling emoticon*. I have to but still *cries some more*. I have to!

So leading a healthier lifestyle will also help me be conscious of my sleeping habits, so no late night t.v viewing for me, a book then catch some Zzzzzzz's. I guess I will be experiencing health to its fullest. All of these changes are a bit overwhelming as I think about them, so rather let me allow each facet of this lifestyle change take place as I live. I guess.

I still owe you folks a pic, I need to get to the nearest pharmacy to weigh myself first. Today I'm nervous and overwhelmed.

Healthy body: My 60 Day Challenge!

I'm super nervous but excited at the same time, my very private dream is going to materialise tonight, I'm going to start putting pen to paper and account for all of my weight gain, weight loss, lifestyle changes etc. I'm going to do it on my blog!

I've had this silent dream for a while now and proud to say that I have forgiven and forgotten all of my past mistakes and negligence pertaining to my weight, I'm happy and excited! Yesterday I started going to amateur contemporary dance classes, I walk for at least 1h15min to work 4 times a week, I've changed my diet and I'm starting teabo  next week :) I'm excited (I can't stop repeating this word).

In the past I have always had an immature and impatient approach to weight-loss (basically if I do not see result in three days-I'm out!), after reading numerous articles on weight-loss and following health and fitness blogs I have decided to try out a 60 Day Challenge. I don't know how much I weigh (bleh) but I do know that I wear a size 36 & 38 (I think that's sizes 12 & 14), my tummy and thighs are my personal areas of concern but now I realise that I should be more concerned about whats happening inside my body because that determines my outlook on life. Today is the 22nd of January so on the 22 of March (oh heck, I didn't realise that's my birthday), I would like to be a regular size 34 (I do realise how ambiguous this is, I need to get a scale, nervous!).

I am keen to smile (more than I do now) when I look in the mirror, I do not want my weight to determine what style I wear or how confident I am (which it is at the moment). I want to focus on the long term benefits of weight-loss ie being fit enough to play with my children, not being susceptible to opportunistic diseases which come with access fat, running around, swimming and playing on the beach confidently (I am a beach-baby, the ocean is my home), having a great love-life with my mayns (hey-hey-hey!) and being able to experience and enjoy the outdoors fully and not tire when I have to walk long-distances. I'm a bean! I'm keen!

The only issue I have had with weight-loss is that I tend to picture myself having Beyonce and Kim Kardashian's bodies (those ladies are the sexiest and most comfortable in their curves I believe) and that often cause me to imagine my body a sex-symbol (which I'm HIGHLY against!). My body is not for sexual consumption! I am beautiful, sexy and attractive (among other things), these three qualities are part of EVERY individual. I believe that the outlook you have on yourself determines whether those qualities radiate or diminish, I want them to radiate, not for man's (sic) pleasure but because being confident is part of the human experience which God designed. Coming across as a sexy or attractive person are by-products of being confident in who you are (in what God has deposited in you) because you have come to love and appreciate yourself. Mna, I'm keen.

With my mind being renewed to understanding the function of my body, I will feel less pressure to conform to what being "healthy" is deemed to be, I will not compete with others nor impose this God-directed journey onto anyone. I do not want to be a slave to the scale or dress size, I want to be focused and enjoy the ride. Fit, healthy, radiant and focused :-). I used to say that I wanted a Jamaican or Brazilian body (I know how problematic my labeling is here) but now I want Mathabo's Healthy Body, the body which is going to move in unimaginable ways on stage, the body which will be seen and appreciated by my children and husband, this body will house an equally fit and healthy mind and spirit where God will radiate in His glory. I am His, He is beautiful therefore everything about my life (via the help of the spirit) needs to capture/encompass everything which He has revealed Himself to be in my life. A body radiating God's goodness, aaahhh :-)

Keen to share my diet and lifestyle plans with you and feel free to share your tips with me too :-) I will try be as open as possible with pictures and all (eek!), I'm keen though. I want to see and experience this change for myself, it's about time I actively take care of myself holistically.

So thus far my diet will comprise of:
*All fruits and vegetables
*All meats (aint nobody telling me to quit eating meat!)
*Dried fruit and raisins (anyone who knows me knows that raisins are my thang!)
*Almond and cashews nuts (Yuck!)
*Green tea (YAY!)
*Greek and plain yogurt (Greek being first preference)
*Pop corn
*Eggs
*Skim Milk
*Water
NB: Watching my portions is also a key factor here.

Arch-enemy:
*Processed starch esp. bread, dumpling, mielie-meal pap. (Lord help me)
*Processed beverages ie fizzy drinks and fruit juice
*Sweets and chips :( (Farewell lovers)

I'll add more stuff if I've forgotten them now. My skin is so keen to soak and illuminate all the goodness which comes from the above yumminess. I want to lead a healthy lifestyle, one which will inspire my children to eat healthily and not experience the hardships I experienced with weight and health.

After the 22 of March we'll see what happens.

I'm keen lovies, in 3, 2, 1 go!

We don't need a love affair
Listen to the sounds of this up here
We don't need to lay in bed
Waking up from place to place
We don't need to pay our rent
Listen to the sounds of this right here
We don't gotta pave our way
We can live from place to place


C'mon love let's get away
Listen to the sounds of this up here
Take your money to the bank
Tell em we gonna throw it all away

Candy coated painted moods

Listen to the sound of it in you


We don't need a love affair
Listen to the sounds of this up here
We don't need to lay in bed
Sleep all day we'll sleep when dead
We don't need to wait on them
Listen to the sounds of this right here
We don't need to pave our way
Take this love on face to face


Take your money to the bank
Tell em we gonna throw it all away
Freedom brings a paper chase
Tell em we got soul and we gonna stay
Righteous fallen people pray
But we got something real
That you're going to hate

Make a test and change your name
Nobody has the power but you and me
Baby you run for you and you run for me
We gonna tell em what it is
Yeah we don't care
Gotta live our lives and don't look back
Best believe I believe in love

Yeah I got the faith
Just to be the lights of the days
Play it out from place to place and get away

'Lovers In The Parking Lot" by Solange Knowles




My inspiration
Solange Knowles
Image taken from: mydamnblog.tumblr.com




Left your heart behind when I laid eyes and said I'm up and done
The young just live and don't look back or wait for anyone

And maybe you loved me but I just up and wanted to run
Back and forth behind and down when you were in and I was out
Me chasing lovers in the front line of the parking lot
And baby I loved you but I was not done having my fun

Played around with your heart, now I'm laying around in the dark, wuhu
Played around with your heart, now I'm paying when we're apart, yeah
Played around with your heart, guess I played myself from the start
Played around with your heart

Where oh where's the man that landed in my hands when I say fall
I pushed you head over my heels until I pushed you far

And maybe I need you but you just don't want nothing at all
Back and forth, behind and down, when you were in, and I was out
We chasing lovers in the front part of the parking lot
And baby I'd tell you but you won't give the number to call

I played around with your heart, now I'm playing around in the dark, wuhu
Played around with your heart, now I'm paying when we're apart, yeah
Played around with your heart, guessed I played myself from the start
Played around with your heart, and I want you back
You back, you back, you back

I've been playing around with your heart too long, woho
And I now I played around and got caught
And now I play myself in the dark
Oh baby I've played around with your heart,
And now I'm playing around in the dark, wuhu

Played around with your heart, now I'm paying when we're away apart, yeah
Played around with your heart, guessed I played myself from the start
Played around with your heart.

"Umhle Kangaka Khe Warhuba" by Ondela Wanda Zweni

Indixhwitha indixhole indixhaxha
indikruna indipetya okungathi ndingubhontsi
indixananazisa andisakwazi nokuxoka
andixhelanga xhukwane
esi isikhohlela andikwazi nokusibika kubani...

Ndisiginya ndodwa gaga-gaga  gaga-gaga
sisihla ngomqala apho siyakhona siyokuthunuka intliziyo sibethe ihlaba endingakwazi nokulichaza
pilisi ntoni asilochiza..
bandithwetyule ngokundinyemba bendinyenyisa,
ewe banditicele besithi ndiyeyengxwangxwa inja ndisisizalo somhadi/

batshilo batshilo besithi kakade ndingumgqakhwe bekufanele
ndifanele ubalilo ilolo elinempondo kodwa lingenanjongo
ndingubanina kakade mna kodwa ndithi “umhle kangaka na wakhe warhuba”

Ndiziphulaphule ndiphuma ezegazi
ndithwetyulwa zinkumbulo
noko esi isihlophoyiya siyandisinda
ndikrazuka ndigrogola ndigodola kungekhobani
ilizwi lirhwexa kukukhwaza okosana embelekweni, Yho! Yho! Yho!
ndirhaxwa ndigwintwa uqhoqhoqho
esosikhalo akukho iginyis 'amathe,
bendithi ndiyafula ndigawula kanti igaba lichana emnweni


Kuthula kuzola ufumanekaphi na ndingene ndizinqengqe ndizigquma kula mabakala eli magada hlabayo....
Kuhleka okuyinene, lonwabo olunoxolo ndingakuthathaphi na ndikuxhwile ungene uhlale uhluma
hleze kuthi kanti singamaphuth'ahlathilinye....

Kodwa andizozixhwith'intamo ndizicikide ndizingcatshe ndizigwinte ndizigece
hayi ndiyapheza ukuzigeca ndizindlakazelisa ngengcinga
ewe ndiyayiqonda okokuba iyandikurhaxa le rhasi urhona akuyeki
isezakuphuphumala neyam ibhekile ndiwelwe ngumqa esandleni
kusezakubayinyambalala
ndithi gcobho ebhotolweni ndihlinze amanqatha
noxa ngoku ndiphantsi kwamanqwanqwa


Ubuchule kukuncekelela
ndigidele noba yincidi sekukufuphi ndityibilike kwisibindi
NdizakuHlala ndimi hleze kuthi kanti amaflityo-flityo akude kufuphi namaqabaza emvula sele qala ukuchaphaza..

Kwa Ntliziyo Ndise (To place where I'm lead by my heart/ Take me to where my heart leads)

This blog was originally started to promote a devised piece my good friend Fezokuhle Mthonti (Fez) and myself directed called "Umhle Kangaka Khe Warhuba (Your beauty is so apparent and rich its as though you have never undergone suffering of any kind)?", hence the url "Artistic Scores". "Umhle Kangaka Khe Warhuba?" is a rhetorical question highlighting the beauty in question. Fez and I had no idea what we wanted the blog to be called, through this theatrical exploration we wanted to explore the notion of hybridity, identity and the tensions which come with a number of languages and cultures having to negotiate their own space in an already tight area. Those were the nuances of the piece.
The phrase,"Umhle Kangaka Khe Warhuba?", the title of the play was taken from a powerful poem written by my good friend Ondela "Ondy" Zweni who wrote it for the play.

"Kwa Ntliziyo Ndise was a recommendation I made, not for any profound reason but it was a term which encompasses the fluidity of life, so even if we could not find a phrase which directly spoke to the title of the piece it at least spoke to the nature of the piece. Kwa ntliziyo ndise. We wanted the audience to travel guided by their hearts as they engaged with the themes transported through imagery, music, words, bodies and movement which we hoped would sink in their sub-conscious. We wanted them, without realising, to take an introspective and perhaps a retrospective journey through their lives.

The reigning theme throughout the process was "My pain is my crown", this I believe helps one realise that hardships are never in vain but are there to mold and refine you. I know how "preachy" this sound but I refuse to carry burdens and pain inflicted towards me by myself and others and not gain something worthwhile from that. If the natural environment is anything to go by, life itself is beautiful when things work in harmony, it is when we are out of tune that general negativity comes. From those experiences our duty is to gather what we have left and make our lives work in harmony again. It's so hard but we cannot avoid it nor can we call those experiences mistakes- we need them to grow. You are battered and bruised physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually and yet in this brokenness you need to put yourself together again. Humpty-Dumpty had the assistance of all the kings horses and all the king's men but in our reality, we need to sub-merge ourselves in the pain we are feeling and confront all the brokenness and misery. Phew! What a freaking task!

I have learnt that the journey that your heart leads you in comes with many unexpected glories, riches, laughter, joy, tears, heartache, confusion, disillusion, surprise and so much more! We need to take all of these experiences in, benefits and consequences, and with our characters know how to deal with what is dished at us. Kwa ntliziyo ndise. Every time I think about this term it calms my often anxious spirit, I am able to divorce myself from my own expectations. Some of our expectations are too low, unrealistic, pessimistic and just burdensome cause you simply can't carve out a path that ensures everything goes according to plan. Kwa ntliziyo ndise, where my heart (which belongs to God) leads me. It's reassuring and instills a sense of hope which flues my heart and mind with the vigor and "chutzpah" to run towards my vision. When I think about kwa ntliziyo ndise, I feel streams of peace flowing gently down my heart, I am at peace because the curves and bends of the journey do not phase me, I know kwa ntliziyo ndise is where I'm supposed to be :-)

I'm happy, not because the circumstances around me necessarily allow for me to be but because I know that I am where God wants me to be, guided by faith and not by sight.
