(Before Alicia left for New York, she gave me a copy of this poem. Alica is 80 years old with a mind set of eternal youth.)
All day long, may I walk
Through the returning seasons, may I walk
Beautifully, will I possess again
Beautiful birds, beautiful, joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen, may I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet, may I walk
With dew about my feet, may I walk.
With beauty before me, behind me, above me
all around me, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty
lively, may I walk
It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty
- Navaho Prayer
