Today’s Life-Line is:
It is dawn.
The sun is conquering the sky and my grandmother and I
are heaving prayers at the horizon.
“Show me something unbeautiful,” she says,
“and I will show you the veil over your eyes and take it away.
And you will see hozho all around you, inside of you.”

Hózhó: “It has been said that Hózhó may be the most important word in the Navajo language. Often translated as ‘balance and beauty’ the concept of Hózhó carries with it an important emphasis on states of harmony. Hózhó also emphasizes the many connections that link the ephemeral and changing parts of the world together into a larger, more persistent and significant whole.” (from the Indiana University Museum of Archeology and Anthropology Digital Exhibits)
