U is for Unity: u·ni·ty/ˈyo͞onÉ™tÄ“/
Noun: The state of being united or joined as a
whole, esp. in a political context. Harmony or agreement between people or
groups.
Unity. As defined,
unity is a harmonious agreement between people or groups. Some may think of a circle as “unity”. I would agree. When we look around our community, be it a
community of witches or a group of voters one thing that is lacking in my
opinion is unity.
Now you may ask the following question, “Sosanna, how can
two completely different groups unify?”
For this I have an answer.
We are not two completely different groups. We may indeed have differences. Much like a litter of kittens for
example. There may be white ones and
black one, maybe even a calico one.
But, they are all kittens. We can
compare this to other things, like plants or trees. There are all types of trees, but alas they
are still unified in one thing. They are
still trees.
Looking around my different circles today I can see where
the unity has become separated. Meaning
that in my personal life, my work life and my witch life, things are
broken. I am usually a pretty upbeat
positive person, which people like to be around. Over the course of this last year I've been
blocked on Face Book by 5 people, two of which I’m related to. Now at some point you have to say, well it is
what it is and move on, however I believe that this is evidence that we as a
group; we as humans have an inability to coexist. I’m not saying you need to be friends with everyone
on Facebook, but I am saying is that are we so sensitive that we cannot simply
exist in our worlds, unified that we are indeed all human beings that should
care for the general welfare of our own species and put the need to be right on
the back burner?
Perhaps this is enlightenment. Maybe this is the point that you get to when
you can look at another and know that they completely and totally disagree with
you and in fact have specifically said things against you, and you can say, I
honor that light in you which is also in me.
Unity.
When a group has unity, their force is greater than that of
one standing alone. We together to join
a fight, a cause or battle and reach a goal much quicker than one person fighting
that battle alone.
So for this week’s Pagan Blog Project and my NaBloWriMo entry, I’m asking all of my readers to take up the fight and let’s take a stand to assist one team in Maryland reach their goal in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. This team is at 50% of their goal and has only until Sunday to complete their pledge.

I know it’s a tough time right now, financially so what I’ve
decided to do is on top of promoting this great cause and this team I’m also
going to do something for those donating.
ANYONE sending a donation in via this site before Sunday will receive a
coupon code for Sosanna's Closet for 20% off their purchase.
Now your donation must be made by Sunday, but your coupon code will not
expire until February. So make your
donation, $5, $10 any amount will help this great event.
Let’s unify for this fight.
Namaste & Blessed Be
Sosanna
