More than anything, he wanted to return to the house with the same look of peace that he'd seen on Pastor Harris's face, but he trudged through the sand, he couldn't help feeling like an amateur, someone searching for God's truths like a child searching for seashells.

About This Quote

When Nelson Mandela says above quote, he was talking about the beauty of life in which he had got to experience. He was unable to express his full emotions in this quote, because he was unable to walk in the sand. However, he still felt that there is something more than just sand that he wanted to express. The sand represents all that we cannot see or feel or understand.

However, sand also represents the very thing that makes us human. We are all made of sand and we will one day be part of sand. And, when we are part of sand, our identities will be gone forever.
