I am small- 5 foot and a little, that is all. Hiking into the heart of Bryce Canyon via Peekaboo Loop, I was dwarfed by the hoodoo formations of chiefs and queens painted rich clay red, I found myself constantly saying, “I am small.” Compared to my immediate surroundings of treasures, sculpted by harsh weather conditions over BILLIONS of years, “Yep- I am small.” Compare the latter to my immediate hopes and fears, “ Duh- I am small.”
I have seen the world only from my eyes, only felt with my own heart and only thought with my own head. What it boils down to, is that my default world is literally self centered. I am guilty of creating my own world where having to always clean up after my roommate and his dog or gaining 3lbs since last week results in a callous me. Little little little things that I label and put them on the ‘big deal’ shelf in my head when they don’t deserve another second of my thoughts. So today, I am most thankful for the unexpected reminders to re-evaluate what I put on that shelf. Happy Thanksgiving Yall.
