Our
Grand Canyon Wish You Were Here©
Book combines a short, yet concise essay on the park,
along with poetry and stunning photography which give
the visitor a well rounded view of the park.
The
most beautiful and most profound emotion we
can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It
is
the source of all science.
—Albert Einstein
It
may be, as Lt. Joseph C. Ives stated in 1857, that this
is a “profitless locality” in an “altogether
valueless” region, or it may be that this is “the
most sublime spectacle on Earth” as John Wesley
Powell proclaimed in 1872. That the same locality should
elicit such contradictory comments is not surprising;
each man brought his own priorities, his own expectations.
...(So) what should the first-time visitor expect? Expect
the unexpected! Hope for one small glimpse of insight,
one moment of breathless, speechless awe. Hope for a
vision of understanding, of wisdom. Hope for “the
sensation of the mystical.” —From the Introduction
by Jeff D. Nicholas
Edge
of nothingness
Expansive space
Immeasurably wide
Unfathomably deep
Utterly quiet
Hauntingly peaceful
Everyone whispers and no one knows why.
The
Earth speaks...and it has my undivided attention.
