Ubuntu
(African) I am because you are.
The belief that we are defined by our compassion and kindness for others.
How we wish and maybe
sometimes cherish
that we do it all alone!
but the fact remains
no human can be an island
at best we are walls
or bridges
held together by
all the other bricks and mortar
life lived
collectively and together
is the best by far.

Ubuntu is one of the favorite African words of mine.

So true. We found out this past year (unfortunately, the hard way) that we are indeed all in this together -- and our action/inaction can affect so many others. https://mollyscanopy.com/2021/04/undaunted-seventh-blogiversary-atozchallenge/
