• Tolerance has been a very important feature of Christianity from its very roots, despite all the other things that have gone on since. And that, I think, must be the global perspective. Tolerance implies more than saying, "Well, let the Muslims go on with what they are doing." It also means trying to learn something from them and adding that to your own tradition. That is the attitude I think needs to inform the global citizen of the future.

• I have a Bird in spring
  Which for myself doth sing -
  The spring decoys.
  And as the summer nears -
  And as the Rose appears,
  Robin is gone.
  Yet do I not repine
  Knowing that Bird of mine
  Though flown -
  Learneth beyond the sea
  Melody new for me
  And will return.

• Dreams last so long
  Even after you're gone
  I know you love me
  And soon you will see
  You were meant for me
  And I was meant for you
  Go about my business, I'm doing fine
  Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line
  Same old story, not much to say
  Hearts are broken every day
  I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
  I try to tell myself it'll be all right
  I just shouldn't think anymore tonight

  Jewel
