Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, June 12, 2014 — Image by kenne
I am—yet what I am none cares or knows;
My friends forsake me like a memory lost:
I am the self-consumer of my woes—
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shadows in love’s frenzied stifled throes
And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed
— from “I Am” by John Clare

Zion National Park Majestic Panorama View Leave a comment
Zion National Park Majestic View — Panorama image by kenne
A few remaining clouds
sailed into the sunset
leaving behind
golden sandstone cathedrals,
soon to be dark silhouettes
against the glow
of desert night sky.

Court of the Patriarchs, Zion Canyon 2 comments
Court of the Patriarchs, Zion Canyon — Image by kenne
On this cloudy day
we rode the
canyon shuttle
getting off
at each stop
with family
visiting the
park for the
first time.
Concerned the
clouds might
diminish the
canyon’s beauty
soon vanished
as the clouds
began to break up
over the towering
cliffs of Navajo
sandstone that
form the Court
of the Patriarchs.

“Zion Canyon is the work of water
In concert with the winds that shape the heart.
One sees a grandeur equal to one’s wonder;
Nor can one be, but of such grace a part.”

The Real Jurassic Park Leave a comment
Zion National Park Towering Cliffs — Image by kenne
The Real Jurassic Park
can be found in the
deposition and preservation
of Navajo Sandstone. Dating
back to the Early Jurassic
situated on one continent
was a vast sand sea. Extreme
winds created towering dunes
of pure quartz sand
dwarfing modern Sahara. Migrating
avalanches over one another
laminating the dune surface
thus becoming more stable.
Changing over time
by climatic cycles
locking stories of time into
Navajo Sandstone and
forming the towering
Zion National Park cliffs.

Shared Gaze of Curiosity
Generations of deer
have lived with
generations of humans
in the canyons we call Zion.
No longer prey for humans
the deers of Zion graze
near where natural predators
will not venture.
Many animals seem
to understand the show
providing for an occasional
shared gaze of curiosity.
