Walk In Beauty: Prayer From The Navajo People

[weiho]

A friend of mine sent me this prayer when I were walking on the Meseta. I would like to share this beautiful prayer with all my fellow pilgrims, especially those who are walking the Way right now!

Buen Camino!
______

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…

Hi Susan, thank you! Yes, the poem is perfect for pilgrims. I took the photo of myself when I approached Castrojeriz, then painted the watercolour from that photo. Thank you for liking it! All the best!
