Where do we begin, my friends,
when there is no beginning or end?
And how can we start a dialogue that has never stopped
One that has been going on for ever and ever?
For you and I are entwined in an eternal conversation.
One that has been ongoing for eons and eons, centuries and decades -
As we've navigated the seas of life together.
What I am about to say – you already know.
So why say it?
Because it must be said
For you and for myself.
The waves of change have carried us to a new shore of understanding.
One that demands that we put aside our petty differences
and stop focusing on what separates us and instead nurture those things that unite us.
A moment of reckoning lies ahead; a turning point for all of us, when each person must choose between unity and separation and then act accordingly.
Those who are weak will chose to remain divided and ultimately repeat the violent history of the recent past. They will re-invent the cycle of violence by destroying themselves and others who are like-minded. Those who are courageous enough to choose unity will be choosing life over death. For that is the importance of the decision that lies before us today, tomorrow and in the upcoming weeks and months as we approach this milestone in our existence as a country, a people and as the human race. This choice can be made at any moment. Some have already made their choice, others are sitting on the sidelines, hoping the world or circumstance will decide for them. But even failing to choose is a choice in itself – a choice to maintain the status quo. And the status quo is divide the masses so that few may reign.
The most important action you can take today is to make a choice.
Decide for yourself today, whether you will support unity or separation and let your choice determine the actions you take moving forward.
