Life is better with a Tutu

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. 
– Desmond Tutu

I cannot let a quote from Desmond Tutu go by without bragging a bit that I’ve had the privilege of meeting the man.  He came to the office I worked in during the days when Apartheid was still going strong (at least officially) and I had the privilege to make him and others whom he met there some tea.  His then assistant kept flitting around our office saying: “The Archbishop has this, and the Archbishop only likes this, and the Archbishop only has it this way…”  The Archbishop himself, though, was (and I guess still is) a charming, unassuming man, kindhearted and full of humour.  I remember when he was still relatively new to his title of Archbishop he was seen walking around with a t-shirt sporting the slogan: “Just call me Arch.”

The only photo of this that I could find was on a pinterest site  which was not easy to link: https://www.pinterest.de/denisequ57/just-call-me-arch/

Debbie supplies the quote and photo to illustrate it (see it here) and others add their own interpretation.
