I swear to uphold the natural laws pertaining to those suffering from Creative Surplus Disorder (CSD), and like the sumo wrestler, use all opposing forces in a constructive manner. I choose to exist bravely, sweetly and in concert with universal law. I vow to touch nothing unless I better it. May I remain youthful in spirit, yet accept the wisdom gained by life experience. I promise to keep myself open to all levels of perception. May I reveal only what is appropriate for the time, holding life's mystery sacred. I will not be afraid of glory.
