[Oe List ...] all the earth belongs to all the people

[PSchrijnen at aol.com]

Why? What a great question, Susan.
 
I was on top of Table Mountain yesterday. The cable car and facilities on  
top of the mountain were refurbished about 10 years ago, and Mandela opened 
it:  declaring it SA's gift to the earth. He declared it so. An act of  
generosity.  Of hope. And most people on top of the mountain were South  
Africans, most of them black, but there were accents and shades of all colours  of 
the rainbow. 
 
So, thanks Susan, for letting me ponder that question.
 
By the way, the top of Table Mountain is sacred space. There is an awe in  
the air. People whisper thoughtfully, aware of the presence of the mystery. 
I  wept at times in the presence of this perspective on the beautiful earth 
on  which I live. 
 
Paul
