Walking in Wonder
Wall of Windows, Bryce Canyon NP by Sabrina Bradley

water painting time
layers of sandstone forming
ancient sentinels
protect the valley below
guardians over lost dreams

I’ve seen many beautiful photos of Bryce Canyon National Park, but this one from a friend really caught my attention. I love the amazing sandstone formations that look like sentinels watching over the valley. Their beauty reminds me to walk in wonder, appreciating the amazing world we live in.
May we nurture our spirits with wonder.

“Guardians over lost dreams” – you described it perfectly. Bryce will always hold a special place in my hear (especially when I thought we’d get caught in a blizzard when I was out there and I didn’t have much experience with snow 😂)

It was a fake one – when you’re inexperienced with snow like me – you tend to panic easily 😂

A wonderful, almost mystical poem, Brad. I haven’t been to Bryce yet, but intend to. What a beautiful planet we live on. It almost needs poetry to capture what can’t be otherwise expressed. ❤

an incredible photo and beautiful words both weaving together sacred memories. thank you for this reminder of bryce canyon’s ancient energies. about 3 years ago i had the sacred honor of walking through bryce for the first time. it was near the beginning of our 1 and 1/2 year rv living journey to explore the national parks and other beautiful places in between. we stayed at bryce for a week and literally explored every hike there. it was during the winter so we were many times the only ones on trails and to walk amidst these sentinels – the extraordinary hoodoos – was an awe inspiring experience. i love the words your inspiration chose – perfect to reflect the experience of these mystic sentinels.

Thank you Tania. It seems almost everyone but me has visited Bryce Canyon. Maybe it’s an American mecca. 🙂 Similar to you, I spent several summers visiting national parks, but somehow missed this grand park. I’m grateful for those summer adventures.

i always believe in the flow of timing so i know you’ll go if and when is perfect. i hadn’t been to any of the parks until just 3 years ago, so i was late in the game all around in terms of what many others have experienced and yet it was perfect for me at that point – changed my life. much like you, i’m extremely grateful
