Walking by Gandhi

I was walking at the Forks in Winnipeg and they have placed a statue of the Mahatma walking down a trail by the construction of the new Museum. Gandhi stands as a great man of peace and the very essence of someone who beleived he as one man could make changes to the unjust society he lived in beginning in Africa and than in India. He beleived in non-violence to change what he felt was wrong. He also marched through India and fasted till he was very thin and weak but did not give in until the country was backing him in his quest. This can be a reminder to us all of the way one person can begin change. So never forget that you have a say in the ways of the world. So go forth and be the activist that you know you want to be.
