Cláudio Carvalhaes, Ritual at World's End

Our God, who art in pluriverses, the skies and the earth,

Blessed be Your name: Life. May Your pulsing life come to be seen, heard, touched, and felt through the oceans, the forest, in the rocks, in the life of plants, and in the sounds of animals and singing birds.

Give us this day our daily bread, through a variety of seeds and grains and leaves, without pesticides, without monocultures, from local farms, and from agro-biodiverse-cultures.

Forgive us our plundering of the earth, our total lack of relation and reciprocity with the earth and more than human beings; as cells, mycelium, fungi, and infinite processes of symbiosis, forgive us daily by giving back life when we destroy it.

Lead us not into consumerism and the devouring of the earth, but deliver us from the apathy that says nothing can be changed.

For Life is kinship, relationality, and reciprocity.

Now and forever.
