Oh Great One, Master of Change,

We give thanks for prize of existence.

We face You on our feet, with limited range

Of knowledge, vision, and persistence.

We pray to use gift of meager talent,

To be ever curious of Your secret Mysteries,

To follow Your clues trove so richly lent,

Grow our knowledge of Grand Chemistries.  

That through persistence a vision we find,

That brings reverence to our heart,

Channels Your Physics to our mind,

Helps us know diversity — Your Art.

Opens to Your Oneness our blinded eyes,

Helps us next Increment reveal,

Adds knowledge that we crystallize,

To move marginally toward the Real.

In pursuit of the One truth we pray

Those who hear, our words inspire,

Change be effected by what we say —

Knowledge of One makes deeds transpire. 

We ask in the name of the Universe,

That impudence be of the past,

That in Your laws we immerse,

And with Your Oneness, hold fast.

Air and breath — so be it!
