Mimi<\/span> katika mkusanyiko wake mzuri wa mashairi<\/span>
\n The Doctor of Flowers<\/span>
\n<\/i>, mwandishi Rachel Blum anasimulia kumbukumbu: yeye na binti zake wawili wanahudhuria ibada. Michaela, binti yake mdogo, anakaa kando yake, akishika mkono wa mama yake. Binti yake mwingine Isabel yupo, pia\u2014katika roho, \u201cwingu la nuru.\u201d Isabel alikufa kwa ugonjwa miaka kumi mapema akiwa na umri wa miaka kumi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Katika hekalu
\n<\/span>kati ya binti zangu,
\n<\/span>mmoja alipita
\n<\/span>miaka kumi sasa,
\n<\/span>hivyo moja katika umbo
\n<\/span>na moja wingu la mwanga
\n<\/span>akiufikia mkono wangu, . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

huku nyingine
\n<\/span> huchukua mkono wangu
\n<\/span> ndani yake, kana kwamba anahisi
\n<\/span> dada yake karibu<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ninapofurahia na kutafakari mashairi ya Blum ya kifahari, huwa nikifikiria maneno ya kufariji ya William Penn: \u201cKifo ni kuvuka ulimwengu, kama marafiki wanavyofanya baharini; wanaishi katika kila mmoja na mwenzake. Wazazi wanaelewa hili sana: watoto wetu ni wa asili yetu. Blum anasema kuhusu binti zake: <\/span><\/p>\n

Sehemu mbili za mwili mmoja-
\n<\/span> yangu-
\n<\/span> matumaini ya roho –
\n<\/span> moja hapa
\n<\/span> na mmoja hapo<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Katika shairi lingine, anakumbuka safari za kila wiki na Isabel kwenye kliniki ya oncology:<\/span><\/p>\n

Katika hofu na neema ya alasiri hizo, ilikuwa kana kwamba tungedumu\u2014nafsi yako ilikuwa imekataa njia hii, na ningekuwa pamoja nawe. Na ilikuwa kana kwamba tumekufa. Miili yetu tayari imekonda kuwa nyepesi, na bado nilikuwa na wewe. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Daktari wa Maua<\/span><\/i> huanza na kuishia na mashairi ya karibu yaliyoelekezwa kwa Isabel. Sehemu kuu ya kitabu imegawanywa katika sehemu tano, kila moja ikiwa na seti ya mashairi ya kupendeza na ya kueleweka. Imefumwa kote ni vifungu vya wasifu ambavyo vinasimulia mwanzo na mwendo wa ugonjwa wa Isabel na mabadiliko yake kutoka kwa maisha ya kidunia hadi maisha ya kiroho. Katika mashairi yake, Blum anaweka wazi huzuni yake na jitihada zake za kuelewa na kubadilisha huzuni yake ya kibinafsi\u2014na, licha ya yote, \u201ckupenda kila kitu.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Ushairi wake pia unaheshimu uhusiano wake wa kibinafsi na mila mbalimbali za kidini ambazo zimemuunda. Mashairi machache yanaadhimisha matukio, kama vile sikukuu za Kiyahudi za Rosh Hashanah na Yom Kippur, na siku ya kuzaliwa kwa msomi wa Kisufi na mshairi Jal\u0101l al-D\u012bn Muhammad Rumi. Mashairi mengine yametolewa kwa Isabel, Michaela, na wanafamilia wengine na marafiki. Shairi moja la kupendeza katika sehemu ya 3 ni shairi la baraka kwa Michaela. Namna yayo yanakumbusha baraka ya Waapache inayojulikana sana, ambamo kila ubeti unaongoza kwa maneno \u201cNa . . . <\/span><\/p>\n

Picha za Blum kwa wakati mmoja zina maelezo na ishara, na mara nyingi huchanganyika au kubadilisha sura kwa njia za kushangaza. Katika shairi moja, majani ya vuli ambayo yanatawanyika na kupata nuru yanafafanuliwa kuwa \u201cmajani yenye nuru,\u201d jambo hilo likikumbusha hati-mkono yenye nuru ya zama za kati ambayo \u201cmajani\u201d (kurasa) zake zilipambwa na watawa. Kadiri shairi linavyoendelea, taswira hii ya mfano hupanuka ghafla na kuwa ya ajabu, ya kushangaza: ”mtoto hutolewa kwa nyumba ya watawa \/ kuzaa hamu yake kamili.” Katika ulimwengu wa ushairi wa <\/span>
\n Daktari wa Maua<\/span>
\n<\/i> , asili huzungumza katika lugha takatifu zilizopotea: ”Barua zilizosahaulika \/ kama vidonge kwenye gurudumu.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Picha za kusisimua zimejaa katika<\/span>
\n The Doctor of Flowers<\/span>
\n<\/i>. Nina nafasi ya kutaja machache tu: meli zinazopita kwenye maji meusi au kupaa katika anga za kina; farasi wanaokimbia; mikono nyororo, ya kina mama (\u201cNinakukumbuka zaidi kwa mikono yangu,\u201d anaandika Blum katika mashairi mawili tofauti); watoto wanaojali, wanaojali kiroho; kufunika miti, mimea inayopanda, na maua yanayochanua.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kuna aina zote za maua: roses ya phantom, lily calla, maua ya kuchapisha kwenye kanzu ya nyumba, maua ya kufikia angani yaliyotolewa na wasichana wadogo. \u201cKurudi,\u201d aandika mshairi, \u201cni sheria ya bustani.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Kupitia ushairi wa Blum ni mizunguko ya maisha, kifo, na upya. Fikiria mfano mmoja: <\/span><\/p>\n

Katika soko
\n<\/span> wiki kabla ya kifo chake,
\n<\/span> Isabel alinyoosha komamanga
\n<\/span> na alisema kwenye Persephone<\/span><\/p>\n

bahati nzuri ya kuungana tena.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Katika hadithi ya Kigiriki, Persephone imefungwa kuishi katika ulimwengu wa chini, kwa kosa la kula mbegu chache za komamanga. Hata hivyo, wakati wa ukuaji wa kila mwaka, anaruhusiwa kuungana tena na mama yake Demeter mwenye huzuni, mungu wa uzazi na mzunguko wa msimu. Blum anachukua uzoefu wake wa huzuni wa kufiwa, ambao ungeweza kumpeleka kwenye kutengwa na kujiondoa, na kutafsiri katika midundo mikubwa ya asili na hadithi kuu ya uamsho, upendo, na ushirika. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tunaweza kujifunza kutokana na kushiriki katika mawazo ya kishairi ya Blum. Yeye\u2014zaidi ya wengi wetu kwa kawaida\u2014ameshikamana na umuhimu wa maongezi na upatanisho, wa wajumbe wa kila siku wa kimalaika, wa ukombozi wa ndoto na kutembelewa, na maono ya kuamka. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rachel Blum alilelewa na kuelimishwa ndani ya jumuiya za Quaker. Alihudhuria Shule ya Marafiki ya Germantown na kuhitimu kutoka Chuo cha Haverford. Mnamo mwaka wa 2018 alisoma hadharani kutoka kwa kitabu chake huko Chestnut Hill Meetinghouse huko Philadelphia. Ninaamini kwamba Marafiki wanaoishi ndani <\/span>
\n Daktari wa Maua<\/span>
\n<\/i> atahisi kujitolea kwake kwa amani na huruma na upokeaji wake kwa Nuru ya Kimungu, katika hali zake zote nzuri, zilizokataliwa, na za rangi nyingi.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5090,"featured_media":3082064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[9920,10001],"fpb_issue_category":[10258],"class_list":["post-3125287","fpb_book","type-fpb_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapitio-ya-kitabu-cha-quaker","category-vitabu-vya-agosti-2019","fpb_issue_category-quakerspeak-saa-tano"],"yoast_head":"\nDaktari wa Maua - Friends Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/sw\/book\/daktari-wa-maua\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sw_KE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Daktari wa Maua\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Na Rachel Blum. 3: A Taos Press, 2018.
