The principle of equilibrium

Maya Prayer

Oh you Tzacol, Bitol! Look at us, listen to us!  Do not leave us, do not give us up!  Oh God, you are in heaven and on earth, heart of heaven, heart of earth. Give us descendants and successors as long as the sun is shining in its clarity. May the day begin and the morning sun rise! Grant unto us plenty of good ways and even paths, so that the people have peace, deep peace and are happy.  And giveto us a good life and a worthwhile existence. Oh you, Huracán, Chipi-Kakulha, Chipi-Nanauac, RaxaNanauac, Voc, Hunahpύ, Tepeu, Gucumatz, AlomQaholom, Ixpiyacoc, Ixmucané, Grandmother of the Sun, Grandmother of Light!  May the day begin and the morning sun rise!
