Cedar Breaks National Monument


A lifetime is a high mountain
from which to look__
search your soul__
weigh your deeds__
find your heart__
across the years.

In this vista, the fleeting nature of time, impossible beauty of space, and the magical qualities of this human chance are all vividly evident for all to see, and exceedingly patient for those slow to understand, this view_  that we all must.

Monument Valley, Artist's Point


Young man,

Might I call your attention to a few things of great value. If I could give you an amulet of good fortune for luck on your journey of life, then I would instill an attitude of curiosity and relentless question deep within your mind's eye.  If I could arm you with one mighty weapon for Armageddon, that would absolutely be the pure and simple humility of nature/ the universe.  You would be fearless.

 Store up what no one can take from you, what is of greatest value. This is the ability to see the beauty we live amidst. It is hard won, so be patient. 

Should you be so troubled and not know what to do,  remember the rule " in ten years what difference would it make ."

When your out of luck and money, wolves have encircled you, some of which are members of your own household, and  your world is turned upside down, believe this is your greatest opportunity.

Imagine that an infinitely intelligent Spirit wants more than anything for you to understand him, to be well read and inquisitive. He wants you to study all religions, so that you can understand all people. He will require you be up to date on your science, and extremely capable in mathematics. He wants you to understand the vastness of space and how it relates to time, and how terribly important is every hour of chance.

Carpe Diem

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah






I just stumbled upon this path, you see, it appeared as good as any so I took it,




 and then it forked and forked again, while little did I know, I had walked so far, as the time passed so quickly.


One day I happened by chance upon where I started, and stood there



just looking down, same place, same path . . . different man.

Newspaper Rock State Historic Park, Utah


Man is restless, like the ocean current, like the migrating geese across an ever changing sky.
His road is winding into a new place, a new time, a new chance with hopeful anticipation of a new vista, an enlightened inspiration,
another contrast in texture and form.
A spirit traveler in time and space, author of the book of life.

That's what the rock says.
