Feeling The Inner Spirit

Anita Horsfall

Currently, I'm reading this incredible book by Chester Higgins Jnr called “FEELING THE SPIRIT, searching the World for the People of Africa”. I would highly recommend this awesome book to anyone interested in Africa studies, African traditions, and spirituality.In this book, esteemed photojournalist Chester Higgins Jr, tells the story of the people by capturing images of men and women of African descendants  throughout the world. While reading the “Rites” section in the book, I was mesmerised by this powerful image taken in Ghana, in 1975. This photo was taken during the parade of young virgins-a puberty right held annually in...

Picture courtesy of Bieta Giyorgis Ethiopia is Africa's oldest independent, uncolonised country. The town of Lalibela, originally known as Roha, was renamed after the 12th-century by King Lalibela. During his reign more than 900 years ago, King Lalibela commissioned a set of church buildings to form a New Jerusalem, in a small town called Lalibela,  in Ethiopia. This town is known to be home to one of the world’s most astounding sacred sites: King Lalibela’s motives were to create a New Jerusalem for those who were unable to make it to the pilgrimage the Holy Land.

What is the price of your peace?

This beautiful picture of Youssouf Sanogo, cradled by his mother, Hawa Diawara, Photographed by Ilvy Njiokiktjien/VII Photo Agency/Unicef, featured in the Guardian,  warmed my heart.

People Aren't Homes

People aren’t homes. Queen, King, why did no one ever teach you that you cannot turn people into homes? People are rivers, Ever changing, ever flowing.

Ignorance Is The Root Of All Evil

"Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” -Nelson Mandela.   I absolutely concur with this incredible citation by the great Madiba. Beautiful citizens of this incredible world, its time to stop and listen! It does not take the loss of life to start showing interest in races other than your own. It's time to wake up and see the atrocities we humans have been doing to other humans for decades. If you have not made it your mission to enlighten your children and your loved ones, about the many cultures around the world, and...
