I am in such awe of the experience I had last night. Archbishop Tutu deeply touched everyone there with his words and his shining spirit. His smiles, his tears, his message of humility and great courage, and his simple overwhelming goodness are what I will remember. Indeed one person can change the world. He continues to set a stellar example of working toward peace and social justice for our world that needs it so very much.
