Pula! Abundant Botswana

2009 July 23

Pula! (with a soft ‘P’) is said with glasses raised. Pula is also the name for Botswana’s currency.

I’ve been saying Pula as much as possible since returning from Botswana. Pula translates to “prosperity and abundance”.  The hippos, elephants, warthogs, giraffes, and high-water flow from Angola’s rivers are the obvious examples of Botswana’s abundance.

What if we associated prosperity and abundance with money and with the joy of close relationships and transformative experience?

Simple question.

In our culture money is money and more money is better. Huh.

I’d rather have prosperity and abundance.
