Today, I honor the Earth, our motherland
Embracing all beings who traverse her lands: The two-legged, the four-legged, those who soar,
Those who crawl—visible, invisible, and more
I honor all who paved the winding path
And those who watch the road ahead, embracing its aftermath
Today, I honor the flowing water
The essence within me—at times muddy, at times unsteady
Today, I honor the color black, The weight it carries upon my back
Today, I honor the crack
For through the cracks, radiant light will stream
Turning shattered pieces into a hopeful dream
I honor the void
Where mysteries dwell and souls are joyed
Today, I honor the ache
The heartbreak
That tempts us to abstain
To hide away and feign from pain
Today, I honor creativity
The anchor grounding me in life’s vast possibility
Today, I honor this mysterious force called love
The essence we are made of
It’s love’s embrace that helps us grow
Guiding us with a gentle flow
As Leonard Cohen’s lyrics declare
“In love we are made, in love we disappear.”
Today, I embrace uncertainty’s role in life
Living fully engaged, despite the strife
In this uncertainty, in life’s endless tide
The alphabet of existence gives meaning inside:
L is for Living with passion and grace
I is for In—embracing each space
F stands for Forcefully moving toward what is true
E is for Evermore—the essence in you
