Mandela’s words
1 What a wise man Mandela was and what a loss to the world. It’s a pity a man like that can’t live for ever but we hope his influence and legacy will.
2 I love how the raindrops magnify the veins on the leaves.
Raindrops on three leaves
3 The Suitcase Singers did a brilliant gig tonight! This is the stage afterwards with the leftover feather from some of the boas. Sorry I don’t have a photo of the choir. Everyone really dresses up for these gigs in black with bright colours and lots of glitter. We are told that we look fantastic!

4 Today’s dawn sky was another beauty.

Beautiful photography matching wise words.
It amazes me that from the mouths of those who suffer so much, come words of immense love and forgiveness; it is those people we remember. They, their words and their deeds become the stuff of history while their tormentors are forgotten.

I think Mandela’s legacy will live for a long time. He is an inspiration to so many, young and old.
