A prey at supper time
To this food I am about to eat,
I wish to be aware and give thanks for the animal that die.
I wish to be aware of the earth for these vegetables.
I wish to be aware of the earth and the cosmic forces that created it.
May I honor earth and nature.
I wish to be aware of my own - and others role - in bringing this food to my table.
And so now I shall eat and shall live another day,
so I may give; further thanks.
