Mourners in Dubai share Stories- 7 Days

South African Sister Called me South African
South African Sister Called me South African after hearing me recite “Remembering Smile of Madiba”

Indeed an honor to be among other South Africans, but more so among fellow citizens of the Universe.

Beautiful moments shared and cherished in Dubai….

Here is a wonderful article by Magha from 7days Dubai: Mourners in Dubai Share their Memories. Among those a few verses I wrote on the day of burial of Nelson Mandela.

As the world leader was laid to rest, American poet Bahareh Amidi penned her tribute to Tata. She recited, clutching a tissue: “He not in casket but in flight… I not in body but with light, at this particular moment watching the procession in South Africa live, as millions and millions of people gather to celebrate life, this is not a mourning, this is indeed celebration of light in flight, amen.”- Magha@7days.ae
