“An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the children that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run, they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that when one could have had all the fruits for himself, they said, ‘UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?’ (‘UBUNTU’ in the Xhosa culture means: ‘I am because we are.)” (Credit: +Sara Del Valle)
This story is why I do the work I do
Those faces are why I do the work that I do
Those homes are why I do the work that I do
*
I do it all because I live with the belief
that we are all connected
that we call come from one Source
Created by one Spirit
Each of us equal
Each of us mattering
Each of us knowing
*
In one week I leave
to go back to my other home
I am ready to be used as an instrument of Love
and I take you with me
Your gifts of money and love
will be carried down and felt and appreciated...
*
As I continue my preparations to leave
I hope to find time to come by and see you
but if I do not
know that I could not be doing this
without you, your love, your support
Thank you my lovelies of love and light
your love is a precious gift
I leave you today
with an offering of prayer
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Great Spirit, make me an instrument of your peace.So it is
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
All my relations
AmenLove and Light
