Baptismal Prayer

Welcome to the world. It’s yours.
You may look at the trees as much as you like.
They’re yours.
We’ve arranged many horizons for you.
They’re yours. Go beyond them.
Use the breeze at your discretion.
Taste as many snow flakes as you want.
Drink as much beauty as your thirst allows.
Create your own beauty if you’re so inclined.
This is your world.
We will saturate you with love
so that you can do
all that needs to be done
in your world.

“We are a guest in nature and we will be tolerated
as long as we are tolerable.”
Dartwill Aquila
