Symphony of
Butterflies
"To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all
of us. To heal means that we will begin to look upon one another
with respect and tolerance instead of prejudice, distrust and
hatred. We will have to teach our children-as well as ourselves-to
love the diversity of humanity....We can do it. Yes, you and I and
all of us together. Now is the time. Now is the only possible time.
Let the Great Healing begin." |
