The minnows nibble on my toes in the cold water. That is why I come here. I come hear because the water and the canyon speak. Inhaling the Frio is inhaling the spirit of God and I feel him from head to toe. The water that ripples over my feet heals me and I can listen deeply. Here, I am free to write. I am filled up with the magnificence in nature – feeling the awe and feeling me, small – this is reason to go to Laity Lodge in the Canyon, to be filled up and to let go.
"poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility" - William Wordsworth

ReplyDeleteHi Amy, If you can go, you must experience the canyon. It has been part of my life since my childhood. My family history runs deep through its waters. Thanks for commenting.
