Gill Hicks is someone who's presence makes an impact on this world. This I know from the brief conversations that I've had the pleasure to have with this incredible human. This is surely the reason she defied the odds that were cruelly stacked against her in 2005 in London, when a suicide bomber boarded the same train at the same time and stood one person away from Gill as he detonated a bomb throughout that carriage.
The way that Gill articulated this event so vividly with a level of perspective, resilience and love left me hanging on every word, feeling almost like I was right there beside her looking on. She is someone who found the most powerful weapon of retaliation was not fighting back with hate, anger and regret, but with love, connection and understanding. I think we can all learn a little from that.
This conversation will open your eyes to what you have to be grateful for, it will make you want to invest more in what really matters, it will make you tell those you love just that... and it will remind you to love what you may just be taking for granted right this very moment.
I can't thank Gill enough for this conversation.
