We saw friends....
Two who claim Ireland as their place of birth....
Two who own Lebanon as their ancestral home....
No talk of Catholics and Protestants fighting or
Christians and Jews and Muslims being victims of car bombs.
We talked about family and health and building homes for the poor
and laughed about human foibles and the wonderful foolishness of church.
Maybe peace would come if people began to talk to each other about family and health
and began to laugh together at the foolish things we all do as part of the human family.
Friends talk about the really important things.

It's a delicate balance: while on the one hand, I agree that friends talk about really important things, I'd include car bombs and fighting among those "things"— if there's anyone with whom I'd feel comfortable discussing the pain of life, it's friends.
