Affirmation

We affirm the unfailing renewal of life.

Rising form the earth, and reaching for the sun, all living creatures shall fulfill themselves.

We affirm the steady growth of human companionship.

Rising from ancient cradles and reaching for the stars, people the world over shall seek the ways of understanding.

We affirm a continuing hope...

Than out of every tragedy the spirits of individuals shall rise to build a better world.
