I arise this day
With love in my heart,
Through the warmth of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,
Freedom of the wind,
Joy of rushing water,
Splendor of fire,
Stability of earth,
Serenity of stars, and
The wisdom of silence.
I embrace this day
Through the grace of life to guide me
And the promise of love to inspire me.
