Canyons

“There is no shortage of water in the desert but exactly the right amount , a perfect ratio of water to rock, water to sand, insuring that wide free open, generous spacing among plants and animals, homes and towns and cities, which makes the arid West so different from any other part of the nation. There is no lack of water here unless you try to establish a city where no city should be.”

-Edward Abbey

To paraphrase old Ed Abbey: Each person has their own idea of heaven. A pure place where everything is good and they are at peace. For me that place is Moab, Utah. Something about the orange canyons against the blue sky where the loneliness echoes around you and the desert speaks in a whisper makes me feel like I was always there.
