Into the Mystic
My friend Aaron called me today from the southern rim of the Grand Canyon. First, I am so honored that he was thinking of me while he was standing there. There is something about being on a road trip by yourself - just your own thoughts to keep you company - and realizing that you need to share something with someone. The fact that he wanted to share that moment with me - or maybe just gloat that he was there and I wasn't - is something that I will cherish.
I made him send me a picture of what he was seeing:
Just seeing the picture makes me feel small... I know, I know, how totally cliche, but think about all of the years of work it took to make the scene that's played out here. I mean really, can you feel your own immortality looking you in the face here? I certainly can.
I wish I was there with him.. I have no use for surfing school, but when he's camping in the canyon.. I would totally take that. Aaron, my love, you totally rock my gypsy soul.

And the crazy thing - is that in real life, the Grand Canyon looks JUST like the picture. I went there when I was nine and I remember standing on the edge, looking and thinking "It's just like a postcard".
That is awesome that Aaron thought to call you. It always awesome when a friend just thinks of you - and calls.
Send him a picture of the load of laundry waiting to be done, and the dirty dishes in the sink ... so he can appreciate more his "alone and reflect" time!
Takes my breath away, even in photos like this. Thinking of the vastness and the wonder of it all. Thanks for sharing it.
You can come on our road trip Sara.
