A Beautiful Poem from the Navajo

IN  BEAUTY MAY I WALK

In beauty, may I walk
All day long, may I walk
Through the returning seasons, may I walk
Beautifully will I possess again
Beautiful birds
Beautifully joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen
May I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet
May I walk
With dew about my feet
May I walk
With beauty may I walk
With beauty before me
May I walk
With beauty behind me
May I walk
With beauty above me
May I walk
With beauty all around me
May I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, lively,
May I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, living again,
May I walk,
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.

 Meditation point: “How would I describe my walk?”
