Tune Into the Elements of Life

By HensBlooms

Listen and tune our minds to essentials of life,

Tune to earth, air, fire, and water 

Correct your pitch and create harmony

Earth, the source of our stability

Show gratitude, thanking it every day most heartedly

Tune in and reap peace and harmony

Air, our most basic connection to life

Connecting us all to the thought that we are one

Listen, fine-tune by creating  insight, joy and happiness

Fire, the driving force behind all life processes

Represents our relationship to ourselves and to others

Tune to this element, through empowering and to light up others

Water, a huge life force made up of nurturing energies

Cleanses negativity, and makes our mind calm and focused

Stay tuned to a spiritual and philosophical attitude to life

Congratulate, Commemorate, Celebrate!

In South Africa, August month is declared women’s month and August the 9th is celebrated annually as National Women’s Day. National Women’s Day celebrates the strength and resilience of women and their contribution to society and country. This day in South Africa commemorates a significant day in our history. In 1956, on this day, 20 000 women marched to the Union Buildings to protest against pass laws. These laws were made to control the movement of people of colour during Apartheid. Women still have to fight for their rights, we live in a world rooted in gender inequality. Achieving and promoting gender equality is a critical element of the prevention of violence against women.

My thoughts are driven towards celebrating life, perhaps because I recently celebrated a birthday. Let’s celebrate one another and in the process eradicate inequality.

Show appreciation through honouring and respect, congratulate…

Erase inequality and replace it with lasting fond memories, commemorate

Focus on appreciation and recognition for all that has been done, celebrate!
