Grand Adventures

Sometimes life feels a little bit like the grand canyon…  Vivid and overwhelming.  It has deep crags and sheer cliffs.  Surprising drops and painful falls, but it is also filled with wondrous color and beauty.  It is scary and wild but when viewed in its vast entirety, a thing of beauty.

I sometimes feel like life is a race and I am getting farther and farther behind.  There is a real anchor for us in keeping an eternal perspective.  It is not the individual moments that make a life beautiful although there are undoubtably many moments that are so beautifully powerful that we are changed forever in them.  It is the combined journey that helps to create us into the person we are.  Every moment.  Every choice.  Every joy and sorrow a complex part of the canvas of color and texture making up ..…the adventure of a grand life.

Keep climbing!
