Disclaimer: Hail, all hail Natsuki Takaya. This fic is merely a tribute.

( Each evening Saki undoes her braids )

Yesterday, I was part of an assembly in a public elementary school where the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. I didn't feel clear (Quakerese for being spiritually comfortable with something) to honor the flag as a symbol. However, standing there with my hand over my heart but remaining silent until "liberty and justice for all," I started to think--how might I express what really matters to me? What would I say instead?

I came up with the following. (I wonder what other "alternative Pledges" folks have created?)
