2. In beauty it is finished

The mountains, I become part of it . . .
The morning mists, the clouds, the gathering waters,
I become part of it.

May it be beautiful before me.
May it be beautiful behind me.
May it be beautiful below me.
May it be beautiful above me.
May it be beautiful all around me.
In beauty it is finished.

In beauty it is finished.

5. Part of the Beauty Way, if I remember correctly? nt

6. Yes, a part of the Navajo Night Chant ...

two brief excerpts of the Night Chant

The first addresses the need to restore balance and harmony to a soul, spirit, body that has been diseased or left alone to deal with bad feelings that others have projected (arrows of harm) because they cannot own their own feelings, or because of a collective need to blame, two aspects of the same problem...there is an acknowledgement that there are gods and people who can create this psychic/physical darkness but that acknowledging this powerful personal/ mystical/mythological reality can shift both the personal and the resulting discord experienced by Nature into One of Peace.

This second excerpt addresses the healing that occurs for the individual in the context of the whole of Nature,

May it be beautiful before me.
May it be beautiful behind me.
May it be beautiful below me.
May it be beautiful above me.
May it be beautiful all around me.

In Beauty may I walk

In Beauty it is finished.”

8. Back in anthropology, a group and I did the Beauty Way

Of course, Anglo style in the American Southeast with no access to real nature doesn't really make it right. But it's been nearly fifty years so I'm surprised I recognized it.

Then there is the needlework piece I designed around part of the ritual, called Waiting on the Way:

9. You are part of nature weaving threads of life in beauty. Your work is beautiful.

3. Thanks for posting this.

I saw the cross of stones on a news broadcast and had wondered who had made it. It's a lovely gesture.

What is surprising, tough, is that Gabby's body was left out in the open with no apparent attempt of concealment.

I realize not all share this opinion, but I am saddened by the events of this young woman's disappearance and death; but that's what I love about opinions - we all get to have one.
