A Litany, a mantra, a plea


We stand in your place, Ancestors
We perform your deeds, Ancestors
Do not forget, do not forget,
Let it be these words, Holy Ones,
that my heart sings in my chest.
Do not forget, do not forget,
to walk in the sacred way.
Do not forget, do not forget,
that all I see is sacred.
Do not forget, do not forget,
my sacred duty to the world which surrounds me
Do not forget, do not forget.
Grant me this gift, you whom I worship,
not to forget.
