I acknowledge before the source of all that life and death are not in my hands.
May it come to pass that I be healed, but if death is my fate, then I accept it with dignity.
And the living calm of one who knows the way of all things.
May my death be honorable.
May my life be a healing memory for those who know me.
May my loved ones think well of me and may my memory bring them joy.
From all those I may have hurt, I ask forgiveness.
Upon all those who have hurt me, I bestow forgiveness.
As a wave returns to the ocean, I return to the source from which I came.
-Rami M. Shapiro
