As we walk, As we walk
The Universe is walking with us
In Beauty It walks before us
In Beauty It walks behind us
In Beauty It walks below us
In Beauty It walks above us
Beauty is on every side
As we walk, We walk in Beauty

~ excerpt from a traditional Navajo prayer
~~~~~~
One day almost ten years ago I went for a walk in a nearby city park forest. I took my camera with me. For more than decade and a half before that day, our beagle, Bibi, accompanied me. But, alas, she was now a beloved memory. When I looked at the photos later that day, I was struck by how ordinary and how extraordinary they were at the same time. My camera helps me see the beauty that is all around us every day. I made a 3 minute video using that day’s photos and the words of the prayer. Then I added a recording of Primeaux and Mike singing the prayer in Navajo. Enjoy.
