Beauty Prayer

Here's a prayer I like a lot:


Great Spirit
Come dance in my heart!

Let beauty go before me
Let beauty walk beside me
Let me leave beauty behind me
Wherever I go, let me touch with, and be touched by, beauty.

So be it, and thank you.

Note that this is my own version; my own words, but I owe a debt of gratitude to a Cherokee teacher for this prayer. He said he learned it from a Navajo elder.
