... Of passing Giants

Mandela has died.

Silence for a giant.

Not perfect. Flawed, as are we all. But he will cast his shadow over us for decades to come. Steadfast, certain of the justice of his cause. Able to reach beyond his own pain to forgive, and so to commence healing in a shattered nation.

What can one man do? He can shape a nation.

What can one woman do? She can raise our eyes from what is to what can be.

Mandela was a giant. Honour his legacy by becoming a giant too.
