A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. “Desmond Tutu”

Life is less solid than we often believe. It is a dynamic, flowing experience where every moment presents an opportunity to direct the flow. Just as gymnasts “stick the landing” at the end of their routines, we too can land in alignment with spiritual principles, steady and grounded, even in the midst of life’s uncertainties. Life flows, and we, as co-creators, have the ability to choose how we engage with that flow.

This year’s journey, A Grand Rising, has invited us to rise into a deeper understanding, trust, and practice of universal truths. We are learning to live not just in the recognition of these truths, but in their integration into our foundation. Now, we are called to integrate these lessons into our lives, to stick the landing and stand firm in the knowing of who we are as powerful, spiritual beings.

This week we look at creating our lives, by engaging our understanding Unity, Community Oneness and the power of our Word so we can land on solid ground.

This week, Rev. Melody Bailey will combine the principle of mirror mind (the word reflects our thoughts) and Ubuntu: Bringing people together is what I call 'ubuntu,' which means 'I am because we are.' Far too often people think of themselves as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity. “Desmond Tutu”
