\"The<\/a>

South Rim, Grand Canyon, Arizona<\/p><\/div>\n

I found the lyrics below from a Navajo north American Indian song and they touched\u00a0me.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

They seemed to fit the images taken on my phone on our trip to the south rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

They could equally apply to walks around the green lanes of home in soft rain, or padding outside bare foot in my dewy garden early on a summer’s day.<\/p>\n

The Grand Canyon – 1 mile deep, 10 miles across<\/p><\/div>\n

Beauty is before me<\/h2>\n

And beauty behind me,<\/p>\n

And in old age I shall walk quietly<\/p>\n

The Beautiful Trail.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
