Gandhi

The other night we re-watched the movie 'Gandhi' and WOW what an epic 3 hour movie. What a powerful and inspiring message of peace and hope. I watch this movie maybe once a year and every time I do it reminds me of what an incredible person and moment in time that was. It was the first time we watched the movie since travelling through India, and I think, now that we have actually been there, the movie has become much more poignant and meaningful. During our time in India we met some amazing Indians and had some unforgettable moments. This is a country that touches your soul the moment you step of the plane; envelops all your senses instantaneously in the most powerful way.  Gandhi taught us that anyone can accomplish great things and without resorting to violence, anger or resentment. He modelled such self control, patience, understanding and love and proves to many that this is a way of life we can all aspire to. If you haven't seen this movie- watch it. If you have seen it before-watch it again!
Peace.
