Awesomeness of Nelson Mandela
When I read the story of Moses leading his people to freedom, it’s hard to believe a person that noble could actually exist. And I imagine years from now, people who will only know of Nelson Mandela by reading about him in history books, might feel the same way. What a privilege that this man walked the earth during our lifetime.
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Nelson Mandela, 1918 – 2013

Wendy, We’re on the same page with this. Earlier, I posted a photo on Facebook and said what a privilege to be alive during Mandela’s life. I like your Moses comparison and hope that generations to come will be able to appreciate his profound life.
I’ve been thinking about him all day. The more I read, the more inspired I get.
Such an inspiration and yet so human. The world will miss him.
If there’s anyone who deserves to rest in peace, it’s him.
