walk in beauty

Though I must admit that I am not very successful at practicing it, I greatly admire the Navajo aspiration to "walk in beauty", i.e. to lead our life in harmony, respect, and balance with ourself, our fellow humans, and the natural world surrounding us.

Or as cited on Jyri Engström’s extraordinary wedding site:

“An optimistic, forward-looking call for all people and communities to make a difference to the prevailing trends, make the world more sustainable and beautiful using the means at their disposal. We can make a difference through our attitudes, willingness to change, and professional skills.”

What an exhilarating thought!
