The first time I saw the Grand Canyon, I was in awe... and I guess, that is not an unusual reaction from anyone viewing one of God's grandest work of art!!!
And we remember that the Grand Canyon is sculpted by natural occurrences, geologic changes and extreme temperatures such as windstorms, winter storms, rains and of course, the sunny days, which resulted as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World!
Sometimes in our lives, there are strong winds that crush us... and we feel we can't recover. BUT, again these are the stresses that help form our character and make us strong! We just pray there are loving and supportive people around who make these difficult times more hopeful... and who can make us see the bright side of things!!!
P.S.
From Wikipedia:
The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la) is a steep-sided canyon carved
by the Colorado Riverin the United States in the state of Arizona. It is contained within and managed by Grand
Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, and the Havasupai
Tribe. President Theodore
Roosevelt was a major
proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous
occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery. It is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.[1]
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km)
long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile
(6,000 feet / 1,800 metres).[2] Nearly
two billion years of the Earth's geological history has been exposed as
the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock
while the Colorado Plateauwas uplifted.[3] While the specific geologic processes
and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists,[4] recent evidence suggests the Colorado
River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago.[5][6] Since
that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its
present-day configuration.[7]
