Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
~ Jalal Al-din Rumi
In the name of daybreak
and the eyelids of morning
and the wayfaring moon
and the night when it departs,
I swear I will not dishonor
my soul with hatred
but offer myself humbly
as a guardian of nature,
as a healer of misery
as a messenger of wonder
as an architect of peace.
