I could have stood there forever.
As the sun dipped beyond the western horizon and bathed the canyon in it’s fiery glow, a humbling and utterly overwhelming sense of awe filled me. I could have stood there forever and marveled at the beauty of this world that shouts the glory of the one who made it. It was incredible. The depth, the breadth, and the length of the Grand Canyon was mind boggling. I felt so tiny before that consuming vastness, overpowered and conquered. Yet at the same time I felt such a rush standing at the edge of a precipice with seemingly all the world stretched before me. That must have been what rulers felt when they looked upon their kingdoms. Atop the canyon, as far as my eyes could see, I stood level to those towering rocks before me like an equal. It was a completely new experience. I felt conquered and like a conqueror at the same time. It’s for moments like these that I keep traveling. To feel life all anew.
Yes, I could have stood there forever.
Thank you for reading.
