I saved this to read when life slowed enough to let the emotions seep in like a soothing cup of tea. I read through my stack of saved newspaper articles from the 6th and wrapped up with your very complete blog post, including every related link. Thank you for such articulate writing!

I think few of us could imagine enduring what he did, and or having his fortitude to conquer apartheid without doing it full of hatred toward his oppressors. I wonder if you will be writing something about August 15, 1947 on your blog? It sounds like there is much to share! And to answer your question, this post does contain excerpts from my book. When am I going to publish it? I continually pressure myself to get this book done and published as soon as possible, but I recently started telling myself that instead of rushing to finish it, I want to take a slower approach to consider the structure a bit more, to re-write sentences and hopefully bring the magic alive. If I'm only going to write this book once, I want to make sure I do it in a way that best tells the story. I will keep you posted as things progress!

That man fought hard to to send a strong message to not only his state or country but to this world. I always wonder how the people of my country must have felt on August 15th 1947, when our country got independence. I believe this important day of history which you have shared with us with this post must be similar to the day we got independence. Becky is this post a part of your book "An Improbable Life"?

It was right after Mandela was released from prison so much has changed since I was there. Your recent visit, which offers us fresh eyes and experiences, was surely different than mine. Some things will always remain the same though: the beauty of South Africa and the warm hearts of many, despite the corruption, greed and violence of some. Yes, I have been to South Africa.

It is a beautiful country, but there's too much corruption, greed and violence there right now. From your comment to Lori I assume you’ve also been to South Africa?

South Africa and its extraordinary people (and animals) does not leave you once you've been there.
