Benediction: Edward Abbey Lyrics

Benediction: Edward Abbey lyrics

"Benedicto: May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to
the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May
your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with
bells, past temples and castles and poets' towers into a dark primeval forest
where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and
down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of
endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars
of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand
beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags,
where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your
deepest dreams waits for you­ beyond the next turning of the canyon walls."
