There are many influences that have contributed to inspiration throughout my life, family aside, I would have to say that the Sisters (nuns) of the Convent I went to, have had the most profound impact on who I am as a person today. Their love and support to all and sundry, their support during the freedom struggle during apartheid, endangering their own lives and knowing the consequences would have been the Law's wrath - their teaching us to be open minded, tolerant of people regardless of race, colour or creed, to accept that faults are what make us unique and that these barriers are what show us that we have work to do to teach others through our actions how to love openly. Your passion and strength in your faith remains firmly instilled in me. Stirling job to four of you: Sr.Cath: for believing in me and showing me that being quiet works just as well. Sr. M, for relentlessly pioneering for the homeless, poor and abused children - fighting injustices and achieving major contributions through your determination in a a primarily condescending society. Sr. Phil for teaching me that we are all unique and that we are all here for a reason - make it count and Sr. Clem who appreciated my shortfalls and limitations and opening up the world of art, philosophers and Italy. RIP lovely angels, gone but not forgotten.
