I thank you Ajaw in this sacred day Imox for the balance that you grant me. Heart of the Sky and Heart of Mother Earth I thank you for the balance you have brought to my thoughts, my heart, my work, my path, and my destiny. I thank you for the balance in my feet and my hands, the balance in my ability to understand and in my feelings. I ask that I will remain judicious, that the wisdom will always be present in my mind, in my family, in my home, in the steps I take, in my future, and in all the activities that I perform daily. I ask you to grant me strength in my thoughts, Ajaw Heart of the Sky and Heart of the Earth. I ask that no insanity will harm or disturb my thoughts, that there will only be calminside me. I ask that your divine will, Ajaw, will keep my thoughts tolerant, so that I won’t rush the decisions I have to take in my life.
