Jai! Om Beloved Mother Nature. You are here on our table as our food. You are endlessly bountiful, benefactress of all. Please grant us health and strength, wisdom and dispassion, to find permanent peace and joy and to share that peace and joy with one and all. Mother Nature is my mother. My father is the Lord of all.

May the light of truth overcome all darkness. Victory to that light.
