Written by Ambassador G'Kar of the Narn Regime
| Declaration of Principals 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 this 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 We are One. |
