Navajo Blessing from Sandy

Good morning everyone, I hope most of you have had the good fortune to spend time with Sandy on a trail. I have and my life is immensely better thanks to her counsel and wisdom. Sandy offers this wonderful benediction as part of the COVID diary “project” and it seems a perfect message for today. All day may I walk.

Through the returning seasons may I walk.

On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.

With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk.

With beauty may I walk.

With beauty before me, may I walk.

With beauty behind me, may I walk.

With beauty below 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. Here is what is planned for the coming Monday: Walkers: The Walkers will hike Ueland Tree Farm Trails. They will meet at the the trailhead (address: Leber Lane NW, Bremerton WA 98312) for a 10am start. Hikers: The Hikers will hike Dosewallips. They will depart from the Poulsbo Viking Park & Ride at 8am. A reminder for all hikers: the meeting spot is on the very last row of the park and ride in the first section (before the Goats). Please be vaccinated and bring a mask for use in cars. Mountain Goats: The Goats will hike Notch Pass from the Little Quilcene. They will depart from the Poulsbo Viking Park & Ride at 8am.
