a hero getting ready to exit

I have written before of how awed I am by Nelson Mandela and today I just read he is in critical condition.  Of course no one lives forever but in my opinion his legacy will.

I made reference to him in prior blog posts -

but would like to post a collage I made with some images of him as a way of honoring his accomplishments-

to have been through all that he has and to continually choose the option of peaceful and non violent change (slowly paced as it must seem to many) makes him worthy of stopping a moment to send him prayers as he nears the end of his time here-

what an amazing role model he has been... godspeed!
