Let none be forgotten,

not those in other lands, nor those in the cosmos,

nor those who have departed the physical plane

so that no one is invisible to us,

no one falls outside the gaze of our caring.

Within time and space and beyond time and space,

may those who travel in pain find a resting place

in our hearts.

May the departed ones be helped by us to shed

a tranquil space for the weary,

a home that we may live in, in unity with

the rest of life.

Let none be forgotten, and in our reaching
