A Prayer to Diana

Lord of the forest and field, Lady of the starlit night,I acknowledge the truth that for me to live, something must die.I give thanks for the gift of free will,And I acknowledge the responsibility that comes with the freedom of choice. I choose then to abstain from the cycle of unnecessary suffering.I pledge to be an agent of healing, not a bystander to slaughter.I say to the animals:You do not have to suffer and die for me.I say to the workers:You do not have to kill for me.I say to the corporate death machine:You will no longer profit from my blindness. I say to the Earth, and to all that is holy,That though we are taught to feast upon war,I choose to lay down the swordAnd take in peace instead.I ally myself with Nature, not as her master, but as her child.I will not claim dominion over that which is wiser than I. Lord of the forest and field, Lady of the starlit night,May compassion fulfill and transform me May I give as You give, may I love as You love And may my choices bring grace to my life As You bring grace to the world. So mote it be
