Invocation of the Creator
He is patient, he is not angry.
He sits in silence to pass judgment.
He sees you when he is not looking.
He stays in a far place ~but his eyes are on the town.
He stands by his children and lets them succeed.
He causes them to laugh ~and they laugh.
Ohoho ~the father of laughter.
His eye is full of joy.
He rests in the sky like a swarm of bees.
Obatala ~who turns blood into children.
~Yoruba chant
