Their eyes are bright, their minds are clear and aware.

Their every being speaks of strength and courage.

Their souls are calm as the still waters. With pollen in hand, a prayer on their lips, they set forth on the long journey stretching away before the time.

As the sise words of their grandfather echoes in the hose of their minds, they walk the pollen path of beauty.

They are the children of Dine. - Cecelia Nez
