The View From My Bathroom






The view from my bathroom today is a vast expanse of desert.
Snow capped mountains in the distance.
This morning my kitchen is next to a giant crack in the earth.
Tonight my kitchen is under a cottonwood tree in the moonlight.
The view from my bedroom is spectacular.
The moon peeks through the branches,
The stars sparkle overhead
And as I look over
I see the canyon walls cutting black against the midnight blue sky
This is canyoneering.
