Creator of the earth,
The Sun, the moon, the planets, the sky full of stars
And the paths in which they all traverse,
Open our eyes and minds to adopt the vantage point
Of space travelers imaginary and real
In which our world would appear as an orb 
Marked with the blue of the oceans and the white wisps of clouds, 
The place that is our home
Shared with all types of living things 
And people from many backgrounds. 
May that spherical image of blue and white, 
An oasis of color in the midst of vast darkness,
Remind us of our commonality 
Our equality 
And our responsibility 
To preserve this earth, 
to serve the human family, 
To extend a helping hand to people in need
And to support everyone who would attempt to bring to the inhabitants of this earth
Hope, sustenance, security, and peace. 
May Your Oneness and the divine image You have implanted within us
Enable us to recognize Your constant, loving presence among us 
And throughout this incredible universe.
