    dc:description="I am posting this on the eve of our reunion. This is a poem I wrote at Corrymeela about our experiences in Belfast entitled &quot;Leaving Belfast&quot; Leaving Belfast by Peter Clark The city fades out Dissolves Driving past the towering buildings And Albert&#39;s Clock in the City Centre Moving North into the estates. Colours mark the land here. Red, White, &amp; Blue; Green, White, &amp; Gold; They define you, Who you are, Where you live, Leaving the city It all fades Into greens And browns. This land bears no visible&#8230;"

    dc:description="I confess that I was not eager to leave Corrymeela for one last night back in Belfast. As mentioned in previous posts, our experiences at Corrymeela were incredible and there was something very peaceful in just being at the beautiful and comfortable retreat center. So yes, I confess I was not excited to go back to Paddy&#39;s Palace (our infamous hostel) even for just one more night. However, I found that evening in Belfast to be one of the most meaningful of the entire trip. That evening many of us&#8230;"

After leaving Belfast, our group headed for Corrymeela. However, we made some stops to see the gorgeous Irish countryside. The most memorable place we visited was the majestic natural phenomena known as Giants Causeway. Steep cliffs drop into the water, and jutting out into the sea are thousands of hexagonal shaped stones. The local legend is that a giant from&#8230;"

Our destination was Corrymeela, an institute that focuses on peace and reconciliation. Although it seemed as though we were never going to get there, eventually our bus pulled into a parking lot outside a dimly lit building and three enthusiastic Corrymeela staff members greeted us. When we arrived at the institute, they already had a fire going with tea, coffee, and biscuits just waiting to&#8230;"

As I have been getting back to reality in Grand Rapids I have been doing a lot of reflecting on the past three weeks. One of the many great things that has come to mind was the relationships I have built with some of the students at Derryvolgie Hall. Since we first arrived in Belfast they were very inviting and interested in talking with us. They never complained about us coming into their residence hall and hanging around there for&#8230;"

Most people still refer to it as Derry. This is one of the last walled cities in the world. The city within the walls was designed to hold around two thousand people, but the city held over twenty thousand during the Siege of Derry. We met a man named John McCourt who is Catholic and has a vast knowledge of the rich history of the city.&#8230;"

We learned that it was decommisioned in 1924 after many years of being a part of Ireland&#39;s troubled history. Early in the tour we sat in the old chapel where our guide gave us an overview of the jail&#39;s history. His lovely Irish accent, knowledge, and passion for the subject allowed the stories to become very real. At one point in his presesntation&#8230;"

We decided to go because it just so happened that they had an exhibit on the history of the Conflict in Northern Ireland, dating back to almost one thousand years ago (what perfect timing!). As I began to explore the exhibit, I read each panel of information and looked at each display, but as I was finishing one area of a display, a small panel in the corner caught my attention. It was a newspaper article&#8230;"
