An anthropologist proposed a game to children in a Xhosa African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever 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 as 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".

Ooo I had my bi-yearly MRI last week. I found out my neurologist that i have been with for five or so years is leaving the state. I have been through neurologist hell. Some made me cry and had no bedside manner whatsoever. I loved my neuro now. He is the best doctor I have EVER had and probably ever will. He gave me his personal pager number and would always return my pages within a half an hour. When I found out I cried all day. I was devastated and still am. Without him I would probably be in a wheelchair or dead. I mean this literally. Just because he decided to use unconventional and progressive methods to treat my MS I am where I am today.

he's already gone. I am getting whomever took over at the MS clinic at St. Joe's. whatever most the neuros at that clinic don't stick around. two of them went to the Mayo clinic in Denver. I am guessing that is where he went too.

In Zulu (it's like a language derived from Xhosa. Long story) we have a saying "Umuntu ungumuntu ngabantu"
Directly translated this means "a person is a person by people"
Which is a lot like "ubuntu" in saying that I am who I am because of the people around me.

So happy I get to call you a friend too!!biggrin

Love you kiss
