Aanhangers van Dave Pepler weet vir hom is die natuur altyd kop in een mus met die menslike. Dit het weer duidelik na vore gekom in sy gesprek met Bibi Slippers oor sy nuutste boek, Smelt<\/em>, \u2019n versameling verhale en rubrieke, skryf Dianne Albertze<\/strong><\/span>. <\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Wat het bobbejaansnuif, \u2019n kwartsprinkaan en wynruit met mekaar uit te waai?<\/p>

Wel, eintlik nie veel nie, behalwe vir die feit dat dit deel uitmaak van die tapisserie in Dave Pepler se nuutste boek, Smelt<\/em>. Aanhangers van Dave weet al as dit by hom kom, is die natuur altyd kop in een mus met die menslike. Smelt<\/em> is \u2019n versameling verhale en rubrieke (party het in die tydskrifte VISI<\/em> en oorlye Insig<\/em> verskyn) asook \u2019n spesiale verrassing: \u2019n hoorbeeld wat hy saam met Hennie Aucamp geskryf het. <\/p>

Dave beskryf homself in sy studentejare as \u2019n hewige omgewingsaktivis, \u2019n liefhebber van en kampvegter vir plant en spesie. Hy is duidelik ook \u2019n kenner van fyn emosie \u2013 van die dinge wat die kitaarsnare van die binnekant tokkel tot die lagspiere wat hy gereeld by die gehoor laat werk het terwyl hy en Bibi Slippers oor sy boek geklets het. <\/p>

Dave vertel skertsend hoe sy nasate hom altyd spot met \u201cAs Pappa eers begin stadig praat\u201d wanneer hy lostrek met sy hartsverhale. En daar is omtrent baie stories \u2013 ver meer as net di\u00e9 in die bundel glip soos dwaalpaaie by sy mond uit. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Die eksentrieke en skerpsinnige Dave straal omtrent van opwinding oor die dinge van toeka en die vooruitsig van m\u00f4re. Hy vind skoonheid en betekenis in die eienaardighede van die natuur. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hy is in Robertson se vrot hospitaal gebore. Hy beskryf dit as \u201c \u2019n hardlywige dorpie\u201d (gelukkig was daar niemand van daar in die gehoor nie). Hier het hy reeds \u2019n eko-ontwaking beleef. Tussen sy ouers in die onderdorp en sy oupa-hulle in die bodorp gependel. Soms sommer in \u2019n kruiwa waarin sy oupa hom sou laai, met \u2019n wynbottel vol koffie (dis glo hier waar sy kafe\u00efenverslawing ontstaan het). S\u00f3 het sy oupa hom die dorp gewys, maar veral in die veld het hy \u2019n ontwaking beleef. Die oranjegeel van bobbejaansnuifsampioene het sy verbeelding ingekleur: Met die borriegeel stof wat uitgesyfer het, het klein Dave hom verbeel hy gaan in \u2019n trans toestand in. Die natuur het dus amper hemel, amper droom geword. <\/p>

\u201cOp die ou einde stap ons almal maar net mekaar huis toe,\u201d s\u00ea Dave.<\/p>

Hy het \u2019n ligte manier van kyk na verganklikheid en die dood. Dis \u2019n vooruitsig wat op ons almal wag. Swart branders gaan ons almal eendag wegspoel. Maar die groot slaap l\u00ea nog ver in die vooruitsig. Die eksentrieke en skerpsinnige Dave straal omtrent van opwinding oor die dinge van toeka en die vooruitsig van m\u00f4re. Hy vind skoonheid en betekenis in die eienaardighede van die natuur. Hy vertel vir die gehoor van \u2019n spul klippe wat hy dopgehou het en hoe een van hulle net begin voete kry het. Dit was vir hom die merkwaardigste belewenis. Natuurlik sou hy dit nie daar los nie en vind toe uit dit is eintlik \u2019n kwartsprinkaan, \u2019n baie rare spesie. Die blink in sy o\u0451 verklap \u2019n diep nuuskierigheid oor die w\u00eareld. Hy beskryf homself as \u2019n afloerder en Smelt<\/em> as \u201c \u2019n Nirvana van memories\u201d. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Later jare het hy medemenslikheid in die vorm van \u2019n takkie wynruit leer ken. In Idasvallei waar hy nou al vir jare woon, het sy buurvrou hom van di\u00e9 medisinale plant geleer. Sy het dit vir hom oor die muur aangegee en vertel dit werk slegs as iemand dit vir jou present gee. Dave raak liries oor Idasvallei en brei veral uit oor die weduwees wat waghou voor die vensters. Voyeurs agter gordyne of wat waaksaam op stoepe wag. <\/p>

Smelt <\/em>is \u2019n credo oor \u2019n kleurryke eko-mentaliteit, \u2019n meditasie oor medemenslikheid en \u2019n smeltkroes van sintuie wat ondersoek word. Dave Pepler is \u2019n begaafde storieverteller wie se verhale \u2019n mens opnuut waardering vir die lewe om ons gee. <\/p>

Dit was \u2019n eenmalige gesprek wat op 6 Oktober by die EasyEquities Skrywerskamer plaasgevind het. <\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
