thomas merton says this: "i should be able to return to solitude each time as to the place i have never described to anybody, as the place which i have never brought anyone to see, as the place whose silence has mothered an interior life known to no one but God alone."
i've tried to write something here for an hour now. and nothing is working. except for what thomas merton said. hopefully these pictures speak for themselves. and hopefully you can sense how unbelievably torn i feel right now about having less than a month left here. i drove this road a month ago - and i think the pictures feel different than the ones i posted before.
lees ferry / the colorado river.
this picture makes me cry.
the vermillion cliffs
point imperial, north rim.
the north rim. you can see the shadows of the san francisco peaks and mt. humphreys. this, i think, is one of the most beautiful views in the whole world.
marble canyon. the colorado river the most amazing and powerful force in america.
i actually loved the movie "into the wild" - a huge reason was that a lot of it was filmed in northern arizona. there's a shot of him near these rocks in the movie.
echo cliffs / marble canyon. shadow of the navajo bridge that takes you onto the reservation
