May we live together as people who have been forgiven a great debt. May we be gentle, walking softly with one another. May we be understanding, lest we shall add to the world's sorrow or cause to flow needless tears. May we be as anxious for the rights of others as we are for our own.

May we know no barriers of creed or race or 2010-04-16 Senate Journal Page 2380 sex, that our love may be like yours - a love that sees all people as your children and our kin.
