I say to you that
I am the spirit of this place
and it's people
I am the original spirit
and the spirit of now
I rise from the earth
and reach for the sun
I bring together
the old and the new
In me there is
no violence or war
only peace and reconciliation
I am the love,
peace and beauty
of this place
I give you these things
every day and always.
