[at-l] Trail related prayer: Prayer of the Day-- Navajo 8/17

[nealb at midlandstech.edu (William Neal)]

A friend forwarded this "prayer" to me.  I personally think that it's a
great prayer for trail hikers.  And if you are agonostic or (GASP!)
atheistic ;-) , then it's a great poen.  It is Navajo, but I have seen
similar sentiments in other cultures and religions; particularly the part
that begins "With beauty before him..."

PS    Now I'm waiting for the flames from posting a prayer on the list. ;-)
At least it's trail related.

Prayer for Healing
 
In the house made of dawn. 
In the story made of dawn. 
On the trail of dawn. 
O, Talking God. 
His feet, my feet, restore. 
His limbs, my limbs, restore. 
His body, my body, restore. 
His mind, my mind, restore. 
His voice, my voice, restore. 
His plumes, my plumes, restore. 

With beauty before him, with beauty before me. 
With beauty behind him, with beauty behind me. 
With beauty above him, with beauty above me. 
With beauty below him, with beauty below me. 
With beauty around him, with beauty around me. 

With pollen beautiful in his voice, with pollen beautiful in my voice. 
It is finished in beauty. It is finished in beauty. 
In the house of evening light. 
>From the story made of evening light. 
On the trail of evening light.
