Celebrating Kwanzaa Day 3---Principle of "Ujima", a Swahili word for Collective Work and Responsibility!

 

Beloved Radiant Ones---

The Moon and the Stars light the night sky

with hope so that even in darkness
we find our way.

At daybreak the Sun rises and awakens the world.
Ocean tides shift as fish journey.

Slumbering trees feel the gentle breeze of the Wind
and birds greet us with a morning song. 

All Creations have a purpose and work
together in Loving Unity.

As humans, we to must do our part
and live our good purpose so that our communities,
nations and the World can Prosper in Peace.

Today, I honor the Kwanzaa Principle of "Ujima",
a Swahili word for Collective Work and Responsibility! 

We have a responsibility and an obligation

to educate and nurture our children
in Safe Communities of Love
in a World of Peace and Prosperity! 

I am willing to take responsibility for

the well-being of Our Earth and Our World
by using my gifts to help others so
that we can All actively work, prosper,
and live together in Unity through Love.  

UJIMA!
