“To that which lies above, may it inspire us.

To that which lies below, may it sustain us.

To that which lies behind, may it protect us.

To that which lies before, may it guide us.

To that which lies to our left, may it purify us.

To that which lies to our right, may it strengthen us.

To that which lies within, may it remember us.”
