Prayer of the Woods (Portuguese folk tradition)
“I am the heat of your hearth on the cold winter nights.
The friendly shade screening you from the summer sun,
and my fruits are refreshing draughts quenching
your thirst as you journey on.”
“I am the beam that holds your house.
The board of your table, the bed on which you lie
and the timber that builds your boat.”
“I am the handle of your hoe, the door of your homestead,
the wood of your cradle and the shell of your coffin.”
“I am the bread of kindness and the flower of beauty.
Ye who pass by listen to my prayer: “Harm me not.”

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
