I met Desmond Tutu today...

... and was given a renewed inspiration as to why I am here and doing the work that I do.

He is one of those rare truly free and compassionate souls who gives you nothing but joy and love and laughter... and yet, grounds you to the realities that you must face - individually and as a community. He uplifts you, and at the same time, challenges you to keep the struggle for justice, for peace, for equality, for humanity. He reminds you of the foundation of the work you're doing.

And he couldn't have come at a more appropriate time, for many of us here at the Council needed that inspiration, craved for that spark, relieved that he came to remind us of why we are here.

Thank you Bishop Tutu...

PS. And I must add, he is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
