Reconciliation
Now that the tenth anniversary of 9/11 has passed perhaps we can get on with the business to which, as Christians, we’ve been called.
Reconciliation
WORD over all, beautiful as the sky!
Beautiful that war, and all its deeds of carnage, must in time be
utterly lost;
That the hands of the sisters Death and Night, incessantly softly
wash again, and ever again, this soil’d world:
… For my enemy is dead—a man divine as myself is dead;
I look where he lies, white-faced and still, in the coffin—I draw
near;
I bend down, and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the
coffin.
- Walt Whitman
