Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) The Father of World Tolerance and Healing has died at the age of 95 yrs. In his own words . . .

 "The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us ... We enter into a covenant that we shall build a society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity - a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world." — May 10, 1994 Mandela at his presidential inauguration.

I shall miss his presence, but shall treasure his gift to us all...
