"Walking in Beauty": Closing Prayer from the Navajo Blessing Way Ceremony

In beauty I walk

With beauty before me I walk

With beauty behind me I walk

With beauty above me I walk

With beauty around me I walk

It has become beauty again


Today I will walk out, today everything negative will leave me

I will be as I was before, I will have a cool breeze over my body.

I will have a light body, I will be happy forever, nothing will hinder me.

I walk with beauty before me. I walk with beauty behind me.

I walk with beauty below me. I walk with beauty above me.

I walk with beauty around me. My words will be beautiful.

In beauty all day long may I walk.

Through the returning seasons, may I walk.

On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.

With dew about my feet, may I walk.

With beauty before me may I walk.

With beauty behind me may I walk.

With beauty below 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.

My words will be beautiful…

[MN2theMax]

44. Beautiful prayer

Peace to panader0 and family. In my thoughts.

[niyad]

52. Thank you!

[calimary]

65. These words ARE beautiful. And very meditative.

Thanks so much for sharing them, Wicked Blue!

[Wicked Blue]

78. It's a poem we studied in Comparative Lit in college

[DFW]

63. His posts were always a pleasure to read. I'm sorry we never met up.

I always hope for a miracle while knowing I’m being foolish. Still, I remember what David Ben Gurion was supposed to have said: “He who does not believe in miracles is not a realist.”

So I’ll continue to be foolish for a while longer.

[calimary]

64. I'm sorry to hear that.

Bummer. I’ve enjoyed so many of his posts. If we have to lose him, I hope it’s a gentle passage.

Thank you for keeping us posted, Kali.
