"Existence having born them And fitness bred them, While matter varied their forms And breath empowered them, All created things render, to the existence and fitness they depend on, An obedience Not commanded but of course. And since this is the way existence bears issue And fitness raises, attends, Shelters, feeds and protects, D0 you likewise Be parent, not possessor, Attendant, not master, Be concerned not with obedience but with benefit, And you are at the core of living."
