"In beauty I walk.

With beauty before me I walk.

With beauty behind me I walk.

With beauty above me I walk.

With beauty around me I walk.

It has become beauty again."

" Hozho.

Hozho is the gift of insight from the respect of elders and an appreciation for the harmony in nature.

It is a way to live in balance and peace, to relax and adapt with change, and to love others when they are lost in their own selfish pursuits.

It is the interconnection with the smallest breath of spirit to the wind sweeping through the stars.  

it is inner recognition and knowing.  It unites love with all life cycles and it begins with the creator."
