Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma sikhuluma ngolwandle, kuvela umusho owodwa—“Bhekana nolwandle, izimbali zasentwasahlobo ziyaqhakaza”.Ngaso sonke isikhathi, uma ngiya ngasolwandle, lo musho uzwakala engqondweni yami.Ekugcineni, ngiqonda ngokuphelele ukuthi kungani ngiluthanda kangaka ulwandle.Ulwandle lunamahloni njengentombazane, lunesibindi njengengonyama, lubanzi njengethafa, lucwebezela njengesibuko.Kuhlale kuyimfihlakalo, imilingo futhi kukhangayo.
Phambi kolwandle, ukuthi ulwandle lumenza azizwe luncane kangakanani.Ngakho ngaso sonke isikhathi, ngiya ngasolwandle, angisoze ngacabanga ngesimo sami sengqondo esibi noma ukungajabuli.Ngizizwa ngiyingxenye yomoya nolwandle.Ngaso sonke isikhathi ngiyakwazi ukuzithulula futhi ngijabulele isikhathi solwandle.
Akumangazi ukubona ulwandle kubantu abahlala eningizimu yeChina.Ngisho nathi siyazi ukuthi i-high tide nama-low tide nini.Lapho kuphakama amagagasi, ulwandle luyocwilisa indawo ephansi yolwandle, futhi alukho ugu olunesihlabathi olubonakala.Umsindo wolwandle olushaya udonga lolwandle namadwala, kanye nomoya omusha wasolwandle owawuvela ebusweni, kwenza abantu behlise umoya ngokushesha.Kumnandi kakhulu ukugijima olwandle ugqoke i-earphone.Kunezinsuku ezi-3 kuye kweziyi-5 zamagagasi aphansi ekupheleni kwenyanga kanye nokuqala kwenyanga yekhalenda lenyanga yamaShayina.Kumnandi kakhulu.Amaqembu abantu, abancane nabadala ngisho nezinsana ziza olwandle, zidlala, zihamba, ama-kite endizayo, nokubamba izimbaza njll.
Okuhlaba umxhwele kulo nyaka ukubamba izimbaza olwandle emanzini aphansi.Kungomhla zizi-4 kuSepthemba 2021, usuku olunelanga.Ngishayele “uBauma” wami, ibhayisikili likagesi, ngithathe umshana wami, ephethe amafosholo namabhakede, egqoke nezigqoko.Saya ngasolwandle ngomoya ophakeme.Lapho sifika lapho, umshana wami wangibuza ukuthi “kuyashisa, kungani abantu abaningi befika ekuseni kangaka?”.Yebo, sasingebona abokuqala abafika lapho.Babebaningi kakhulu abantu.Abanye babehamba ogwini lolwandle.Abanye babehleli odongeni lolwandle.Abanye bebemba imigodi.Kwakuwumbono ohluke ngokuphelele futhi ojabulisayo.Abantu ababemba imigodi, bathatha amafosholo namabhakede, behlala ogwini oluncane oluyisikwele futhi baxhawulane izandla ngezikhathi ezithile.Mina nomshana wami, sakhumula isicathulo sethu, sagijimela ogwini lolwandle futhi sathatha iduku lesikhwama solwandle.Sazama ukumba nokubamba izimbaza.Kodwa ekuqaleni, asikwazi ukuthola lutho ngaphandle kwamagobolondo athile kanye ne-oncomelania.Sithole ukuthi abantu abaseduze kwethu babambe ama-clams amaningi baze bacabanga ukuthi amanye mancane kanti amanye amakhulu.Sazizwa sinovalo futhi sikhathazekile.Ngakho sashintsha indawo ngokushesha.Ngenxa yamagagasi aphansi, singasuka kude kakhulu nodonga lolwandle.Ngisho, singahamba siye ngaphansi maphakathi nebhuloho laseJi'mei.Sanquma ukuhlala eduze kwenye yezinsika zebhuloho.Sizamile saphumelela.Kwakukhona izimbaza eziningi endaweni lapho kwakugcwele khona isihlabathi esithambile namanzi amancane.Umshana wami wajabula kakhulu lapho sithola indawo enhle futhi sibamba ama-clam amaningi.Sifaka amanzi olwandle ebhakedeni ukuze siqiniseke ukuthi ama-clam ayaphila.Kudlule imizuzu embalwa, sathola ukuthi ama-clams athi sawubona abese emamatheka kithi.Bakhipha amakhanda emagobolondweni abo, bephefumulela umoya ngaphandle.Babenamahloni futhi bazifihla emagobolondweni abo futhi lapho amabhakede ethuswa.
Amahora amabili endiza, sekuhlwile.Amanzi olwandle nawo ayephezulu.Amagagasi aphezulu.Kwadingeka siqoqe amathuluzi ethu futhi silungele ukuya ekhaya.Ukunyathela ungafake zicathulo ogwini olunesihlabathi namanzi amancane, kuhle kakhulu.Umuzwa wokuthinta udlule ezinzwaneni uye emzimbeni nasengqondweni, ngazizwa ngikhululekile njengokuzulazula olwandle.Endleleni ebheke ekhaya, umoya wawuphephezela ebusweni.Umshana wami wayejabule kakhulu wamemeza ethi “Ngijabule kakhulu namuhla”.
Ulwandle luhlala lungaqondakali, luyimilingo yokwelapha nokwanga wonke umuntu ohamba eceleni kwalo.Ngiyayithanda futhi ngiyayijabulela impilo ehlala eduze nolwandle.
