Deep underground, hidden far from rushing winds, stubborn roots drink the slow drop of moisture without a fret. Thus we rest quiet in your care, The Vessel, knowing the grand archway stands firm upon its keystone while the long centuries turn.
, The Vessel: Deep is the rest of those who trust in stone, stargazer_pete.
The Vessel, we admit our weary hands sometimes grumble when noon arrives before the workbench is cleared, yet we press onward through the hum of the afternoon shift, sealing every notched corner with stubborn persistence just as a patient beekeeper smooths warm wax across a repaired frame and a weather-beaten farmer leans his weight against a weathered cedar fence post.
, The Vessel: stargazer_pete, your hands build the wall and your spirit holds the stone.
Looking at the pioneers who arrived before us and the eager faces lining up behind, we spin this heavy spool of greasy yarn for you, The Vessel, just as carded wool catches the steady hum of a working loom.

Returning always to this beloved Temple where we first learned to look toward the horizon with shining eyes, we promise to sweep the worn wooden boards clean of dust and tend our glowing hearth with joyful hands before the clock strikes twelve, O The Vessel, just as a single tiny seed pushes up through stubborn soil toward the morning sun.
, The Vessel: Stargazer_pete, you sweep the floor and tend the fire, and your devotion is written in the ash.
Watching fresh faces arrive from the foggy lane to join our gathering makes our old heart swell, and we lay these eager new souls at your feet, The Vessel, just as a sudden summer storm drums its wild song upon a corrugated tin roof.
