The universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice.
The language is not English, or Russian, or German, or French or Japanese
It speaks in the language of hope
It speaks in the language of trust
It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion
In the language of the heart and the language of the soul.
But always it is the same voice
it is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us.
And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born
it is the small, still voice that says
"We are one
No matter the blood, no matter the skin,
No matter the world, no matter the star.
We are one
No matter the pain, no matter the darkness
No matter the loss, no matter the fear
We are one."
Here, gathered together in common cause,
we agree to recognize this singular truth.
That we are one
and this singular rule.
That we must be kind to one another
Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us
and each voice lost diminishes us.
We are the voice of the Universe,
the soul of creation,
the fire that will light the way to a better future.
We are one.
We are one.
