In beauty may I walk
All day long may I walk
Through the returning seasons may I walk
Beautifully will I possess again
Beautifully birds
Beautifully joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk
With beauty before me may I walk
With beauty behind 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
It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty
translated by Jerome K. Rothenberg
this reminds me so of st. patrick's prayer - substitute "Christ" for beauty, and you have a very close sibling.
peace to you.
This was a wonderful way to start my (very gray and rainy...and yet still beautiful, we need rain) day.

So very beautiful. May everything be done with love and beauty xx
