 The first item of business is time for reflection, and our time for reflection leader today is writer and broadcaster Billy Kay. I give this honour to address him to the national parliament. I ask Ken Speckle to quote from Humuck Deronya, one of thešealiest markers in scot's literature's thousand-year history. It is much better for MHBA satellite to be ourselves and to make that worth being, and a harder job to mortals has been gained. It is more even harder for MSPs, for you can't just be yourself for yourselves, but for all girls, soul, brother and sister, scottes, the maiden curt, Johnny Groes and a yaunt that you represent. fullar o un oeddwn, honan yn digwch lleant ogiaeth. Jalews, suspect, tack tent, take care, or it's tint, it's lost, or you don't want to be doos, you can hear a flight in, for it's a lead hoaching with leg insults, glake it, gauk it, gauk. In Dain say, you'll raise the international profile of this air, with words for the fremit leads that touch us home. French suffa chais, dinafachir cell, Dutch hunkers, Scandinavian lugs, and Latin dyspwn. You'll be how can this will be a goudan seam in your own party's histories. McDermott was a foondon fathor of the national party, fellow maca Cunningham Graham and his friend Keir Hardy, the Labour Party. The tool of what first defined our democratic intellect was the conservative Walter Elliott. The liberal Gladstone was originally Gledd Stain, Gledd being Scots for the bird of prey, the kite, Gleddston, and the greens. The greens are thirled to our eye-biden land, for Scots words like smir, callar, har, or gloman seem to arise out the yard itself and hodd ur heps. But, more important than thon, you'll give a signal to the wanes in the skill that the culture of their home is valued by folk elected by their mothers and fathers. Bearns, like the quaid we last in primary twaw in Fawcarch, were ran and lout into her teacher's arms, lacking in greeting with joy when she first heard her mother tongue in Cles. Or, the sweet learners in Dundee, do our teenage boys, will give to the top of the Cles for the very first time when the language they used, Ilcaday, come into the skill in books that they then devoured and never look it back. Scottish wanes transformed learning a Scottish lead. A nation for neighbours excluded an obody kens that they belong. Surely dear members of the Scottish Parliament, thones will worth being yourself for.
