We will be together.

We will stand as brothers and sisters given life by one God.

We will be together.

We will watch out for one another.

We will listen to what needs to be said in a spirit of compassion.

We will respect the power of silence.

We will wait for the slowest.

We will sooner or later catch up with the fastest.

We will dry the tears of those who are weeping and know that

they will dry ours when the time comes.

We will let ourselves begin to feel at least a little of the pain of those

we have considered our enemies.

We will entrust our stories to each other.

We will not be skeptical that peace can come.

We will not forget the joy of life.

We will not forget to be grateful.

We will do our best to stir in each other

Hope, courage and faith.
