Thanks to the sun that shines today.

Thanks to the moon, a beacon in the dark.

Thanks to the stars that show the way.

Thanks to the air that flows from leaf to lung.

Thanks to the water, the womb of first life.

Thanks to the fire and the sparks of possibility from which it sprung.

Thanks to the earth that nourishes the grain, that nourishes the body, that will come to nourish the earth again.

Thanks to the spirit, the concinnity with the universe and the miracle of being in this transitory state.

Thanks to our ancestors who paved the way.

Thanks to the people, family and friends, who share this time and space, who gives existence meaning and purpose.
