I used to drive myself through this canyon until treatment brought out the ninety-nine year old grandma driver in me (with a lethal combination of a lead foot and slow reaction time--eek!). I get to enjoy beautiful mountain views twice a week as a passenger to and from the doctor's office. It's beautiful. I am so grateful for my loving, patient drivers.
This ride has helped me see these mountains in new ways. EVERY time we go around a bend in the canyon, I see that the mountains have made HUGE changes. The mountains seem to BREATHE!
The fall was breathtaking...oh, mercy! Vegetation turned different shades every single day. Boasting leaves flitted their new sheens and waved at me. Then as they danced off the trees, they seemed to say, "Until next year, dearest!"
The mountains themselves testify that they are ALIVE! God is Amazing to make these sacred, beautiful spaces full of intelligence and steadfast energy. I am grateful for these mountains and the rock-hard stability they vibe off to me. While their outsides change, their insides remain solid. I am comforted living in their shadows.
I enjoy taking pictures on my phone of the beauty and personality of these spaces. I want to figure out how to share more pictures with you. (Fun fact: every word I type is from my phone because the computer we have is my husband's work computer and not even located IN the house. I have typed hundreds of pages before this on my phone, but the picture thing still eludes me...)
This is a picture I have taken this winter. Enjoy!
