Spirits of Air guide me to walk the paths of my heart.

Snakes and rivers, ancient dragons, dance sinuously with me.
Swirling spirit of volcano invest me with power.
Eagle and sparrow give me wings and sight.

Brush me with the breath of love.
Ganesh, sacred elephant who cries human tears and oversees new ventures, help me begin again.”
