"The Story Teller"

Acrylic/Pastel 11 x 14"

To walk or hike the trails at the Grand Canyon

 is to experience millions and millions of years

 of Earth time. 

 And, somehow, at the end of our trail hike,

we become deeply aware

 that, 

in this deeply carved out rock, 

Creation stories are everywhere.

*Inyan ~ Stone

"I am the bones of the material world.

I move in such slow rhythm, that I

appear to you as stillness.

I am the strength upon which you walk.

You may call to me to speak to you

of my ancient tales

of life on this planet,

for I have been here 

throughout Creation..."
