Offer clear intent, Receive the golden wisdom of the sun and fertile Earth in nourishment, that you may bring the glowing, vital force into visible form! With flowers You paint,O Giver of Life!With songs You give color,with songs You shadethose who will live on the earth.Later You will destroy eagles and tigers:we live only in Your paintinghere, on the earth. With black ink You will blot outall that was friendship,brotherhood, nobility.You give shadingto those who will live on the earth.We live only in Your book of paintings,here on the earth.
