― Nelson Mandela

The haiku is a wonderful extension of Mandela’s insight to a world where unchanged places are hard to find.

Inspiring quote! I have noticed that people who leave home , a country or a place change . Many factors operate to bring the change, new surroundings; new friends , culture, philosophy etc They don’t realize that they have changed until they look back at what or who they were before they left.
