Discovering Wisdom
|
|
We do not receive wisdom; We must discover it for ourselves
After a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.

Oath of Maimonides
Maimonides was a 13th century physician, advisor, intellectual and Rabbi who lived in Spain and North Africa. He created
this Oath that physicians still take today in lieu of the Hippocratic Oath. It is also appropriate for nurses, and other health
care professionals. I created this as a gift for those in the medical profession.
The Eternal Providence has appointed me to watch over the life and health of the people of my community. May the love
of medicine motivate me at all times; May I be insatiable in the pursuit of new knowledge.
Grant me the strength, time and opportunity to correct what I have acquired, always to extend its domain.
For knowledge is boundless, and the spirit of man can also extend infinitely, daily to enrich itself with new knowledge.
Endow me with the strength of heart and mind to serve others and may I never see in the patient anything else but a fellow
creature in pain.
Words based on the Oath of Maimonides.

Song of the Loom
Weave for us a garment of brightness
May the warp be the white light of morning
May the weft be the red light of evening
May the fringes be the falling rain
May the border be the standing rainbow
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness
That we may walk fittingly where birds sing
That we may walk fittingly where grass is green
Tewa Indian Song of the Loom
