This is the last shot I took of the Grand Canyon after essentially crawling out the final half mile.  As angry as I was at it for trying to kill me, I still had to respect it’s breadth and beauty.  I forgave the Canyon and decided it was partially my fault for not heeding the warnings or preparing properly.  We made up and parted ways amicably but we both knew it would be many moons before we met again.

  4. These recent exposures to the sheer size and magnificience of our country and the universe are clearly having a humbling effect on the writer. It certainly conveys to the reader. Let it continue.
