Look at the stars...

...look how they shine for you, and all the things that you do... (Coldplay). Isn't it amazing how, even if we are far away, we continue to think about and feel deeply connected to the people we love? I would have loved to be with you at the Cold Play concert, Waldo!

Instead, I was still at Mont Fleur, in Stellenbosch, which has a place in history that certainly relates to the lines of Yellow. Around 20 years ago, this place was the silent witness for what came to be known as "The Mont Fleur Scenarios"--one of the first meetings among Mandela, the ANC (African National Congress) and the crumbling apartheid government, to talk about the transition.

It is usual to feel humbled in the presence of superior beings--and I am sure that is what it would feel like to meet Mandela. But sometimes you feel humbled just by thinking that the very spot where you are standing, is a place where historic developments happened.
