By SANDY ROCHELLE
I honor the stars that light the way to wisdom and the unseen.
I heed all that I do not understand with reverence and silence.
I praise the unforgettable and unknown.
I live with hope and mistrust fear.
I reject all that misleads me.
I accept the road that winds in the direction of all that I do not know.
I welcome shadows and unresolved dreams.
