Life's Overwhelming Beauty

Beauty, y’all

    Man, sometimes we look at the vast expanse.

    It’s sort of hard to take it all in.

    It can be intimidating.

    Scary, looking at these depths

It’s also the first moment of seeing the Colorado River after some good hard work to get here.

 

And you also see

You have boulders

Things to hang on to

Things to give you

Shade

Protection

Your loved ones

Creator



It has become an annual ritual for me - running long runs in the Grandest of Canyons, a time to pray and give thanks. I enjoy taking a moment to record something short in the moment, filled with the energy of this magical place and the energy of the movement.
