This week has been a very challenging one for me in many ways. While I could sit here and explain all the “things” that have happened to me, what would be the point? In the end, we all have our challenges in life and go through periods where we either go head on like a bull ready to “take on” the world, or we just want to be left alone to rest our weary and tired souls for just a little bit.
I like to think of the Grand Canyon when I start to feel like I’m needing a soulful rest. And it’s something that definitely brings me back to earth. The Grand Canyon makes me feel like an ant, kind of like if you were in a space ship from high above the earth looking down at the city lights. It brings you back to reality again…..I realize that I am but ONE tiny person on a huge earth full of people, animals, and other living beings……….
I’ve had the opportunity of seeing the Grand Canyon THREE times now!! I am so happy I got to see one of the greatest wonders of the world! Each time I went I felt like I could just “BE” and it was great therapy for me. The pictures that you see here are the pictures I took on my last trip to the Grand Canyon in 2008. I love a gorgeous sunset and as you can see, it was magnificent. I have a beautiful Grand Canyon picture on my bedroom wall. Often I’ll stare at it and remember what it was like to be standing next to one gigantic piece of wonderment as I contemplate my next move in life…….
Is there a place you’ve been that brings you back to earth?
