Via the confluence of my innermost virtues and outward actions, I ascent to becoming myself, now and forever.

I assume this body, whose shape is formed by Mystery and whose presence necessitated by the Now.

I shall heed the call of the Cosmos by walking forward when it is easier to walk away.

In exaltation, I choose all of life- for then I reflect the Universe without the resistance of wanting.

This day and all days forward, may service be my mark, love be my guide and community be my homeland.
