When they hate, I will love.
When they curse, I will bless.
When they hurt, I will heal.
I am a servant of the light.
I am not afraid of darkness.
I will carry on with my work
as a steward of this Earth
and of all her children.
When they divide, I will unite.
When they rage, I will calm.
When they deny, I will affirm.
I will simply be who I am: for that is
what Spirit created me to be.
--Bishop Steven Charleston: Elder of the Choctaw Nation
