5 Let the wounds of separation and division be healed by opening our hearts to listen to the truth on all sides, allowing us to find a higher truth that includes all; May we learn to honor and enjoy our diversity and differences as a people, even as we more deeply touch our fundamental unity; May we, as a people, undergo a transformation that will draw forth individuals to lead our nation who embody courage, compassion, and a higher vision; May our leaders inspire us, and we so inspire each other with our potential as individuals and as a nation, that a new spirit of forgiveness, caring, and honesty be born in our nation; May we as a nation rededicate ourselves to truly living as one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
