Sharing the Wisdom
Declaration of Principles -- Interstellar Alliance
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.
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:
