For two days, they will say to the man all the good things that he has done.
The tribe believes that each human being comes into the world as a good. Each one of us only desiring safety, love, peace and happiness.
But sometimes, in the pursuit of these things, people make mistakes.
The community sees those mistakes as a cry for help.
They unite then to lift him, to reconnect him with his true nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth of which he had been temporarily disconnected: "I am good."
Shikoba Nabajyotisaikia!
NABAJYOTISAIKIA, is a compliment used in South Africa and means: "I respect you, I cherish you. You matter to me."
In response, people say SHIKOBA, which is: "So, I exist for you."
I was so inspired by this and it is a great reminder to me and hopefully to you that the people who make mistakes are the very ones who need a caring person or "village" to surround them and speak life to them in order to re-ginite and re-connect them to their purpose. Be that blessing to someone today...
