From Prayers and Remembrances
TEXTS
In Beauty It Walks
As I walk, the universe is walking with me.
In beauty, it walks before me.
In beauty, it walks behind me.
In beauty, it walks below me.
In beauty, it walks above me.
Beauty is on every side.
As I walk, I walk with Beauty.
Traditional Navajo Prayer
Eternity
He who bends to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise.
William Blake (1757-1827)
