BECAUSE IT IS CHRISTMAS TIME

[isabel Cabral Costa]

PEACE FOREVER
Arm in arm with Mandela, I walked through Qunu valleys.
He was telling me that forgiveness and concord are the most powerful weapons to conquer the development of a nation.
I asked him: "How have you converted through words, so many people who hated you?"
"If you speak to your enemy with humility and honesty, using a language that his heart understands, he will become your ally."
Suddenly, I felt a perfumed breeze and dozens of white doves flew away from the place where Madiba was walking before.
May the white doves always fly through Qunu valleys!
