house made of dawn.
house made of evening light.
house made of the dark cloud.
house made of male rain.
house made of dark mist.
house made of female rain.
house made of pollen.
house made of grasshoppers.

dark cloud is at the door.
the trail out of it is dark cloud.
the zigzag lightning stands high upon it.
an offering I make.
restore my feet for me.
restore my legs for me.
restore my body for me.
restore my mind for me.
restore my voice for me.
this very day take out your spell for me.

happily I recover.
happily my interior becomes cool.
happily I go forth.
my interior feeling cool, may I walk.
no longer sore, may I walk.
impervious to pain, may I walk.
with lively feelings may I walk.
as it used to be long ago, may I walk.

happily may I walk.
happily, with abundant dark clouds, may I walk.
happily, with abundant showers, may I walk.
happily, with abundant plants, may I walk.
happily, on a trail of pollen, may I walk.
happily may I walk.
being as it used to be long ago, may I walk.

may it be beautiful before me.
may it be beautiful behind me.
may it be beautiful below me.
may it be beautiful above me.
may it be beautiful all around me.
in beauty it is finished.
in beauty it is finished.

(navajo prayer)

"in the navajo language the word hogan means "home place." the term also has come to refer to a collection of buildings, all of which share essential characteristics: they are single‑room, roughly circular structures, heated by a central floor fireplace or wood‑burning stove with a hole in the roof for a stovepipe; the door always faces east, toward the rising sun, and they are generally built by the occupants. the architectural origins of the hogan are bound up in mythology. the building forms were originally divine gift to the dineh, the "people," as the navajo call themselves."
