Born of a woman

'And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us..."

We call it "ubuntu, botho." It means the essence of being human. You know when it is there and when it is absent. It speaks about humanness, gentleness, hospitality, putting yourself out on the behalf of others, being vulnerable. It recognizes that my humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.

~Archbishop Desmond Tutu
