Courage, Beauty, and an Escape from North Korea

Ever try to limit yourself to just three words when you try to describe something special: a wonderful meal? a great movie? a favorite book?

It can be really, really challenging.

But at other times, on rare occasions, it’s incredibly easy.

That’s the case with this TED Talk by Hyeonseo Lee as she talks about her escape from North Korea and subsequent life as a refugee and, eventually, activist. Three words: courageous, compelling, and (especially in light of our recent discussions) beautiful.

I’ll say no more, except that to watch this video is to gain an appreciation for freedom, courage, and the human spirit.
