Ubuntu, I Am

While attending the Ubuntu Sympsioum held last week in Cape Town, wonderfully organized by the South African Ubuntu Foundation, I had a brief moment of insight and penned down this little poem.  I trust you'll enjoy it and share it with others!

Ubuntu, I Am

You are, therefore I am

I am, therefore I think

I think from of place of remembering who I truly am...

I am love

I am empathy

I am trust

I am compassion

I am community

I am peace

I am giving

I am participating and creating projects that remind others who they are

That is my responsibility, I think

Therefore Ubuntu, I AM.
