"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
We saw him last August at the Botanic Gardens. It was a sad event for us; it was obvious that he was already ill and not up to the performance. While we were glad we got to see him we left early - it was just too sad to witness. I guess from what I've seen that he took seriously ill not too long after that.
