The Fecundity of Living

I am reminded of the African concept of "ubuntu" (resonant of the classical Greek construct of "nomos").  Both concepts reflect the inherent codes (grammar of belonging) of language and rhetoric that promotes coherence.  My husband has often commented that my huge Irish Catholic family operates on "herd instinct."  "They don't talk. They migrate." I think he is right. This quality of language and culture has always fascinated me. It what promotes the fecundity of living together in community.
