In the light of harmony and under the witness of the Earth and Sky, I, Zenath, do solemnly and publicly vow poverty - not as deprivation, but as devotion; not as rejection, but as realignment with the sacred rhythms of life and nature. I renounce the pursuit of wealth for its own sake, the ownership of excess, and the illusion of worth through possession. No gold shall guide my hand, no treasure shall tempt my heart. I vow to hold no property that does not serve the common good, to wear garments of humility, to eat from the earth with gratitude, and to walk lightly, that my steps may leave no scars upon the world. All that I receive, I receive in trust; all that I use, I use with reverence; all that I give, I give freely, as breath returns to breath. Let my life be a vessel of sufficiency, not surplus; of simplicity, not scarcity. Let my hands work not for gain, but for grace. Let my name be forgotten, if only my ways be remembered. By this vow I bind myself - not to a cage of lack, but to the freedom of needlessness; not to austerity, but to sacred sufficiency. So long as I walk the path of a healer, poverty shall be my wealth, and service my inheritance. May the four winds carry this vow to every quarter. May the stones remember. May I be faithful. So mote it be. Zenath Hyul 152, 5th Moon, 26th Sun | |
