Poudre Canyon

Far away from home

We sisters join together,

merely awestruck beneath

a valley of swerving roads and sloped

canyon walls

A chilled Cutthroat porter sits nestled between my legs

in the front seat, as

I spy the eyes of my companions gazing

through the lens

of the Silver Bullet–

this glass enclosure bearing witness to

a timeless nostalgia,

an extraordinary chasm delicately descending

just nearby the continental divide

This scenery defines fecundity.

This scenery reminds of us of our fragility.

our Smallness.

here we are,

surrounded by rugged, gargantuan walls

that suggest both intimidation

and comfort–

because it is here we are free.

it is here we are proved that our ties are continued,

kept together by an invisible string

across changing states and time zones,

expressways,

suburban neighborhoods,

and forests,

we find our way back to each other.

we stop at an unoccupied site off road and dip our toes

into the rushing river, a fisherman

downstream

waist deep - lost in the Tao -

or perhaps Found.

Howard makes friends with the locals.

Here we stand,

nothing but the whistling of wind

and river songs, still

encapsulated by the glacial debris before us.

all i taste is clean air.

But where is home?

Perhaps it is wherever

our hearts reside - together

through grief, blurred nights, shared pieces

of life,

across borders,

through states,

and

driving through the poudre…

we find our way back

to each other.

Fear is a goldmine for growth and the only time we stagnate is when the cushiness of our comfort zone becomes our reality for too long and we stop looking out beyond what feels possible. Lean into your fear, take action, screw up every now and then and celebrate the fact you’re grabbing the life you were born to live with both hands.

Beauty is an inner phenomenon. Beauty is not in objects, not in people, not even in the eyes of the beholder. It lies in the heart of every person
