Читать книгу Scallywag - Jacoba Combrinck - Страница 5

I am a multi-mom, which means to me that I play in multiple teams. First, the wonderful RIM team, as a programmer/analyst, which I love; secondly the Combrinck team, where I am Mom, Doctor, Chef, Partner, Friend; finally the K-W (Kitchener-Waterloo) team, where I belong to a most warm and welcoming community.

Naturally my thoughts are filled with stories from my action-filled plays in all the paths I happily tread.

Since many of my musings come from moments with my son, I wanted to include a few of my favourite poems about childhood, by Rabindranath Tagore. His work finds a connection with my own, although I would not be so bold as to place myself in his league as a poet. I also took the liberty of adding my own illustrations of his touching verses.
