When you enter this world, the earth embraces you, providing a solid foundation for your existence.
The stone became the framework of your being, giving you strength and structure.
The sea flows through your veins, connecting you to the vastness of life and nourishing your spirit.
The sun illuminates your path, guiding you with its warmth and light.
The moon whispered secrets to your soul, inspiring your thoughts and dreams.
The wind danced with you, carrying your hopes and aspirations to the world’s farthest reaches.
“When you transitioned to the Otherworld, Your breath transformed into the wind,
Your mind embodied the moon,
Your eye became the sun,
Your blood flowed as the sea,
Your bone solidified into stone, and your body merged with the earth.”
When we came into existence, you performed the same for us:
You summoned the earth and rocks; the sea emerged and the sun set;
The moon beamed down, and the winds whispered.
For future generations, we will act as you did for us.
When we depart, we will do as you did before.
Ancestors, we honour you.
