In rings 'round flaming embers, We who are gathered here together - Hope, dream, aspire, remember. Time, as to us; At is? Finite, momentary. Nature, as we choose it; ¹Incongruous? Confusion, pain. What is there which be truly objective? Science. We who strive to learn to understand, To understand to learn; To forge understanding Is to distill wisdom. What rationality, ²temperament, to provide with lucidity? Kindness. We who stride to strengthen to stand, To stand to strengthen; To find strength Is to have discovered discipline. Be patient - Have compassion - With all inhabitants. Peace is harmony, Harmony is peace. To live is to learn, To learn is to live. Mutual co-existence, universal liberty; Truth is individuality's wreath. ¶ One as we are; Singular. Yet, inter-connected. Together when able; Similar. Yet, different. Respecting one Is honoring all, Honoring all is respecting one. Respect equally given Is respecting yourself. Honor equally given Is honoring yourself. Your identity your decision(s): Your testimony living, Of the verdicts chance & choice; What you have done with it, What you will do with it, What will be done because of it. The passed; now as then. The present; then as now. The future; ⁴

You Are Your Own Garden(s)
In rings 'round flaming embers, We who are gathered here together - Hope, dream, aspire, remember. Time, as to us; At is? Finite, momentary. Nature, as we choose it; ¹Incongruous? Confusion, pain. What is there which be truly objective? Science. We who strive to learn to understand, To understand to learn; To forge understanding Is to distill wisdom. What rationality, ²temperament, to provide with lucidity? Kindness. We who stride to strengthen to stand, To stand to strengthen; To find strength Is to have discovered discipline. Be patient - Have compassion - With all inhabitants. Peace is harmony, Harmony is peace. To live is to learn, To learn is to live. Mutual co-existence, universal liberty; Truth is individuality's wreath. ¶ One as we are; Singular. Yet, inter-connected. Together when able; Similar. Yet, different. Respecting one Is honoring all, Honoring all is respecting one. Respect equally given Is respecting yourself. Honor equally given Is honoring yourself.
