We are One

I have been slowly re-watching the series Babylon V on Netflix.
The episode watched last night included an inter-governmental body passing the follow, which i have found inspirational.


ISA Statement of Principles

The universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice.
The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari
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
It is 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 the singular truth 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.
