SYNOPSIS
Behold the Father of the sky.
Behold the Earth Mother.
We, the pillars in between, welcome you.
May you resemble the affinity of connection.
May you be embellished as a symbol of prestige.
Adorned like a bird in the sky.
An eminence of beauty, ready to soar.
Rise to this occasion.
Rise to this challenge.
Bind in breath.
Sacred essence that is bequeathed.
Sacred essence that is bestowed.
Bound by the energy of the Earth Mother,
she who connects us and is eternal.
Tis’ the vitality of women.

Thy breath, blessed by the Father.
Thy breath, and mine,

our divine lifeforce.

Gather the sacred essence, the essential life force, bind in unity.
