In our lifetimes, there will be few individuals who dedicate their lives selflessly, serving those who do not have a voice and, above all else, remain true to their conviction and their greater purpose, being the liberation of others. Yesterday Archbishop Desmond Tutu passed away, leaving behind a legacy that will forever shape a nation and its people.
While we mourn his leadership and inspiration, can we not take the spirit and values of his intent and permit those to live on. Although we may not all be visionaries who will inspire and effect significant change, we can play a role in being the bearers of change. Every vision is only as good as its subsequent actions.
As we lay a body to rest, we can give the soul opportunity to rise through our actions to ensure the cause lives on in earnest.
