With Beauty Before Me My I Walk

collected natural elements from the southwest desert mounted on canvas and shadowboxed
12 x 12 x 1.5

I live in the southwest desert and take walks picking up dried out devils claw, pods, ocotillo branches and other elements. This assemblage is from my walks in the desert.
The title is from a Navajo prayer:
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 again
With Grasshoppers about my feet may I walk
With beauty may I walk
With beauty before me may I walk
With beauty above 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, living again, may I walk.
It is finished in beauty
