spacerI walk with beauty


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 under me, may I walk,
With beauty all around me, may I walk,
With old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk,
With old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk,
It is finished in beauty.


(Navaho)


from Washington Matthews, "Navaho Myths, Prayers and Songs", University of California Publications in Archaeologyand Ethnology, Vol 5, p.48, quoted in Franz BoasPrimitive Art, 1927, p. 327-28
