With beauty before me, may I walk.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty below me, may I walk.
With beauty all around me, may I walk.
Navajo Prayer (extract and modified)
I love these words.
A mantra.
An approach or attitude to take with me through my days.
I have annotated them as extract and modified, because I found all over the interweb there were variations, adaptations, modifications, extractions and extensions, and I just thought it was best to note and acknowledge my uncertainty around the pure original.
As I sit, quietly, breathe gently and read them slowly, I envision a cloak of beauty wrapping around me. Reminding me that beauty holds; it remains. Reminding me that beauty is there to be found if I pay attention. Reminding me that beauty enlivens my spirit and refreshes me. Reminding me that beauty is a tonic.
For yes, there is beauty to be found. May I find it.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty below me, may I walk.
With beauty all around me, may I walk.
