and all praise to the heavenly Motherfather,
\nall glory to the Great Them, who told Moses
\nI will be what I will be, and named Themselves.
\nWho, in Their infinite mercy gave us one job:
\nto embody Them. Grant that we may see
\nthose milky bands across the sky as
\nfingerprints too big to comprehend.
\nMay we see Them in ourselves as well, and say:
\nI am, the plural who is one. May we be whole,
