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.

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.
