A Meditation

If I am to pray, if I must pray

To an all-understanding and interventionist creator.

I demand my birthright of wisdom, honesty, and clarity;

I pray for my cognitive health and intellectual development.

I pray for my body and mind to cooperate in their beautiful capacity,

And my soul, should I have one, to be shielded from the daily back-and-forths of Jerusalem.

That my mind and body should not be weakened by the land,

That they should pursue absolute truth in their journeying,

That clarity should follow and free me, from any untrue thing-

For this I pray.
