Among the tribes in Northern Natal in South Africa, the tribes greet each other with “Sawu bona.”
The phrase “Sawu bona” literally is defined as “I see you.”
If you are a member of the tribe you would reply, “Sikhona” Which in English language is equivalent to saying “I am here.”
The order of the greeting of this exchange is important.
Why? Because it allows us to consider the idea that until you see me, I do not exist.
Or when you see me, you bring me into existence.
We can only get better when we truly begin to see each other.
We can only learn and grow when we acknowledge each other.
We can only make a difference if we know our existence matters.
Let others know that you see them.
Let others know they exist.
Give into this profound power of I SEE YOU.
When we acknowledge another. we are saying I SEE YOU.
In seeing another, there is an incredible gift. A light that illuminates from the inside out; an enthusiasm for another’s potential, power, and potential.
