You, Paul Holmes, who in your life sometimes divided opinion and caused controversy as you held your course have, in your death, brought together something of the best that can be found in those who inhabit this nation.
Tears are still streaming down my cheeks as I write this. It was something of great moment to watch a piper playing "Amazing Grace" lead out on your very final journey. Beside you young Maori honoured you and bid you farewell and a safe journey, and the church, who represent God's love in this nation, walked before and behind you.
I suspect if we will let our eyes see it, something of enormous significance has been set in motion as this seed falls into well-ploughed earth.
