Dine' (Navajo) Poem

"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.
Wandering on a trail of beauty lively, I walk."

One of the many people we have met along the trail gave this poem to us after spending an evening camping with us and chatting about the trail. Even though the trail has at time provided us with many challenges, I think this really sums up why we persist and continue on our journey northward.

  2. Don't rush your journey to Oregon, keep on embracing each moment...like you do. I keep sharing your link with members of the SV community who ask.
