Back in the days when Adire (tie-and-die) patterns where
the rave, most of us experimented with the craft. It was very common for
Creative arts teachers to ask students to create a pattern of Adire as
part of their assessments. I was one of those who got on that very
interesting experiment. We were told that if the colours will last;
without fading, then we must wash with salt. Later on, I learnt that you
have to introduce salt early in the process if the dye will be properly
fixated on the fabric. Salt is used as a fixative for dying in textile
industries.
So, how exactly should we manifest this amazing attribute
of salt? As the salt of the earth, we are expected to retain or sustain
beauty…wow! 
Colours shouldn’t fade around us! Destinies should be recovered and restored through us. When there’s gloom and hopelessness, we just light up the place with simple honest smiles. As salt, we should be willing to offer our shoulders to the teary and heartbroken.

Today, a lot of people are going through all manner of
difficulties. There’s a little thing you can do to make sure they do not
fade away. You can help clothe someone today. You can help put food on
somebody’s table, regardless of the economic recession. You can also
pray for someone's restoration.
Go on, let the world know that you are salt indeed!
