"In the name of the daybreak and the eyelids of morning and the wayfaring moon and the night when it..."

“

In the name of the 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.

I will honor all life

—wherever and in whatever form

it may dwell—on Earth my home,

and in the mansions of the stars

”
