A Walk in Beauty...

This Thanksgiving morning I awoke very early and had some time to spend alone in reflection before the day became filled with the crush of holiday activities. There are so many aspects of my life that I have to be thankful for, a true abundance! That thought brought to mind this poem that I thought would be appropriate not just for today; but, every day...

In Beauty May I Walk

In beauty may I walk
All day long may I walk
Through the returning seasons may I walk
Beautifully will I possess again
Beautifully birds
Beautifully 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 may I walk
With beauty before me may I walk
With beauty behind 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

Happy Thanksgiving...

Love,
Henri
