Looking for Navajo Blessing chart

Question:

Hi, A friend of mine is looking for a chart that has the Navajo blessing (marraige related we think) that goes something like this: "If there be wind, let one be shelter for the other…" If anyone has this chart, could you let me know? Also if anyone knows the rest of the blessing and could send it to me that would be great. Then we would just try to chart it ourselves. Thanks in advance. Anne 8-)

Response:

Anne, I don’t know about a Navajo blessing, but there’s an Apache blessing chart; I did it for my daughter and SIL.  The chart is in "Indian Prayers" by Imaginating.   Apache Blessing   Now you will feel no rain   for each will be a shelter to the other   Now you will feel no cold   for each will be warmth to the other   Now you will feel no loneliness   for each will be a friend to the other   You are now two people   but there is one life before you   Go now to your dwelling place   and enter into your togetherness   And may your days be good   and long upon the earth There’s also another version of the same blessing, by another company, with slightly different text and more ornate decorations. — My opinions are my own; if IBM shares them, they haven’t told me.
