Navajo misconceptions are being among the most poetic in the world, full of dazzling term imagery. For the Navajo, who contact themselves the Dine (literally, ‘the People’), the storyplot of about Meditations with the Navajo: Prayers, Tracks, and Tales of Healing and Tranquility emergence–their creation myth–lies in the centre of their values. In it, all of the globe is created together, both gods and humans, embodying the theory that change originates from within rather than without. Poet and author Gerald Hausman collects this and other tales with meditations that together capture the substance from the Navajo people’s life-style and their understanding of the globe. Here are myths from the Holy People, of Changing Female who teaches the People how exactly to live, and of the trickster Coyote; tales of healings performed by stargazers and hands tremblers; and tunes of love, relationship, homecoming, and ageing. These and the meditations that adhere to each story reveal a world–our world–that thrives just on harmony and stability and stocks the Dine perception that the main point over the circle that has no beginning or end can be where we stand at this time.
