you must be a person whose forgiveness matters.

and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation,
you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.

Only when both sides shake hands,
and agree that there is no winner, no loser,
only people who have wearied of fighting
and desire to live in peace.

of the Northern Ireland dead,
comprised of members of the once-outlawed Sinn Fein
as well as their once-avowed enemies,

of death in war and civil conflict."
