Ubuntu #NewNormal #A2Z

 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.

  5. 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/
