I shouldn't blog on Thursdays... Yes, that's right. I shouldn't blog on Thursdays. I am too tired by Thursdays. I'm running on fumes by Wednesday anyway, and until Saturday it's like living dead time. Zombie time.




However, this week, in honor of Nelson Mandela's birthday, the first gathering of The Elders took place in South Africa. These are former heads of state, and others, who will actually try to solve the problems of the world, with their combined experience, and free agency.

A glimmer of hope in a tired world.

Peter Gabriel took time from his tour to celebrate with Madiba. You can see video of the historic event here:

I don't know about you, but I just might listen to these people when they speak. Maybe we all should.  ¶ 7:48 PM
