To celebrate the history of the object. What it's been through. And I was just... Thinking of us like that. My heart full of gold veins, instead of cracks.","author":"Leah Raeder","tags":["heartbreak","love","reconciliation"],"id":2722,"author_id":"Leah+Raeder"},{"text":"The main element of true reconciliation is the public education system.","author":"Nilantha Ilangamuwa","tags":["education","reconciliation","transnationalism"],"id":11282,"author_id":"Nilantha+Ilangamuwa"},{"text":"If the sun never set, we would have no perception of the vast depths of space, which become visible only at night when we are able to see what is obscured by the bright daylight.","author":"William Keepin","tags":["healing","perspective","reconciliation"],"id":12208,"author_id":"William+Keepin"},{"text":"Neither group working alone can create gender balance in society.
