Subject: Tricolor flag in St. Patricks day Parade

It makes my heart soar to know that we can not carry with pride the Irish Tricolor Flag on St. Patricks Day in the City of Belfast.

The Unionists say it is because what it represents.

What I am hearing is a future potential dialogue.
Dialogue that will soften foundation of the walls that occupy our minds, our hearts, and our souls.

During World WarII, many Allied Soldiers who were P.O.W.S. escaped they're chains and bondage. They were able to succeed because they pushed through the walls that were in they're, minds, they're hearts, and, they're souls. One foundation at a time.

Yes, a dialogue is in the process of being birthed. Like the labor pains of a mother in labor, there is one conclusion. Birth. The birth of dialogue.

As Irish and as Unionists, the One who is coaxing this birthing process, is God. He is the One who is paving the path ahead of us. God is the One who creates opportunities for walls to be softened a bit.

It has only been 13 years since the signing of the Belfast Agreement. It has been over 100 years since The United Irish Men, met in North Belfast, for a Peace Agreement, one of the Principles being to live and work together.

Peace is a "patient entity" God is a "Patient God". Peace is God's creation. Do we want ot risk "offending God.

I'll leave off with those thoughts to ponder.
