...ek lees ‘n storie oor ‘n skip wat oppad was om terug te keer huiswaarts. Hulle praat van ‘n ‘homeward bound voyage’. Maar iewers op die Noordsee steek ‘n storm op, en die skip word op rotse gedryf en sink tussen die eilande. Daar was 300 passasiers en bemanningslede aan boord, 32 kanonne, en goedere. Daar was ‘n enkele onbekende oorlewende.
Die skip se naam was ‘Liefde’.
Op 17 November 1711 toe sink die 160 voet vaartuig. Die huidige wrak posisie is onbekend.
Seker waar die spreekwoorde vandaan kom, reken my man... wonder self of ons mensedom nou verdoem is want Liefde kon nie deur die storm kom, en Liefde is op die rotse, en Liefde het verbrokkel... niks verder word genoem van die goedere en kanonne maar wat wel uitstaan is dat net een onbekende Liefde oorleef het...
Ek lees op oor die Noordsee en sy winterstorms... wat toe nie daar is om skepe langs eilande te begrawe nie, maar eerder ‘n groter funksie verrig om waterstrome na die Atlantiese Oseaan te druk.
Ek kyk na die skeepsverslag wat in 2008 opgedatteer is, en toe weer in 2012. Ek raak skoon opgewonde - dui aan vir my man dat die sinkingstragedie van Liefde nog nie onopgelos gelaat is nie. Ek wys uit dat dit die vierde keer was dat Liefde oor die Noordsee huis toe gevaar het, dat selfs ervare kapteine nie kan verhoed dat skepe teen rotse gedryf word en dat bekende roetes jou nie vrywaar van verdrinking...
Ek wonder oor die onbekende enkele oorlewende - dalk was dit ‘n nuwe begin van Liefde... dalk was die watergraf juis ‘n katakombe van Liefde... dalk was die spreekwoorde verkeerd, dat Liefde nie op dierotse was en gesink het nie, maar dat Liefde tot op die seebodem moes sak om vir ewig lewendig te bly, want hoe kan Liefde vergaan as dit hier op bladsye neergeskryf is...

This “Celebrating the month of love” post really made me pause and think about the deeper stories behind old traditions of love and connection. It’s interesting how that same sense of meaning shows up in modern scenes too, whether you’re talking about Corteiz, CRTZ, or CRTZ XYZ, where culture and emotion become part of the experience rather than just a marketing line. The way you blend narrative and food vibes keeps it engaging and heartfelt.

Vgsteel is doing impressive work in hot galvanized coating in Malaysia. Their coating quality, durability, and professional standards clearly stand out. It’s great to see a company focusing on corrosion protection and long-lasting galvanized steel solutions for industrial and infrastructure projects. Definitely a reliable name in the market.
The discounts on business class flights sometimes malfunction and sell a ticket at a fraction of its original price, sometimes known as error fares. Specific forums and alert services are now monitoring these anomalies in real-time and users are able to book high-value travel to Asia or South America under 1,000 before the airline makes the system right.
These are hard to find and only a few hours are needed to get these rare discounts offered on business class flights. It is a high reward game of chance that favors people who are able to book instantly without scheduling vacation days.
