what better place to rest?

posted by brother-unit TW over at american idyll -- go visit the canyon, go stand by the river



route through
the Supai,
Boucher Trail



inner gorge
outside Agate Canyon



near Burro Spring


I remember the temple, this route I've travelled before,
I recall the bridge as I cross it again.
It seems the hills and rivers have been waiting,
The flowers and willows all are selfless now.
The field is sleek and vivid, thin mist shines,
On soft sand, the sunlight's color shows it's late.
All the traveller's sorrow fades away,
What better place to rest than this?
