Ubuntu - By recognizing others' humanity we confirm our own

Ubuntu is about witnessing, offering or experiencing unconditional acceptance for everyone. It is evident especially in its demonstration towards those who would and often are as easily excluded. Ubuntu is embodied in actions towards others which include and welcome, expanding like ripples in a peaceful pond. It is our connection to the larger human family in ways we do not fully understand but which exists nonetheless.

The African word 'Ubuntu' exists at a plane of understanding higher than words can capture - as do many words that stir the soul in their attempt to describe the human condition.
