I like that you draw a connection Songbird to my friends quote with biblical text.
Ecclesiastes is also used on my family tomb.."Like the leaf we all must die" Given that this was engraved in 1895 it tells me
that words endure.

My friend is a humanist and as we journey some of our life together I see srong similarities to other women who I care for and myself who have different beliefs.

So to pose a question...does love and regard for humanity cross cultural and faith barriers.
My short answer is "yes"
embrace the difference
