The Grand Canyon More Than Just a Pretty Site

When you visit the Grand Canyon, it sets you back on your toes. The beauty of the area is beyond words. The first time that I visited all I could think was that it looked as gorgeous as the photos. The cliffs that are formed and the colors that we see are mesmerizing.

Colors that are seen are made by the diversity of  rock that has been layered through out time. the river brought them in and over the years they just became higher and higher until its what we see now. A plethora of colors that catch the eyes with browns and different shades or red.

You may think why are the cliffs shaped as they are and not just one big cliff. The answer is the Colorado river. It moved along the sides and carved out taking as many rocks with it and forming the walls as they are now. If you get close enough to the sides you can see water waves marks as far as the eye can see and more. water carved out the Canyon that we see today.

Who would of thought that water could do so much to solid  rocks? Rock is nothing more than dust particles compacted together. And when you rush water on rocks it moves the smaller ones around. That's what it did to the Grand Canyon. It took up each rock one at a time and moved them to another location.

So next time you think that its just another site to see remember that its so much more, and took centuries to make. The amount of geology that it took to make this Canyon so breath taking is actually quit interesting. I geology class a few semesters ago and even though it was after I visited the Grand Canyon, I would have appreciated the visit even more and kind of

 

 

wish I would have known what I learned earlier.

Stafford What is he saying?

Stafford said something along the lines of “Write something that others may not like but it holds and expression”. Now it could be an expression that you had, even if others do not feel the same way. It is still something for you to remember. Most likely someone will like it and agree with you. What Stafford is saying is write what makes you feel not for others. He wrote just what came to his mind, like what he had learned and felt at a time. Even to express his message he revised his work to make it more meaning full to him, and to get as much emotion as he could out of it. The poem will be read and understood from the point of view of the writer. The reader can have his or her own reaction to it. Stafford strived to write something that made him feel, and allow the reader to decide how they feel about the poem as well. A poem more or less guides you to feel the way the writer does. How poets use their words can affect or emotion of expression of what the poem id referring to. Stafford knows this and shows how and expression can come about with just a small word.

Why not go out and write? Everyone can write its true not everyone is going to be a famous writer and have their work published. But to get your thoughts and feelings down on a page is a no brainer. What Stanford is trying to say is do not let anything keep you from writing. Whatever comes to you write down. It does not have to be for anyone but you. Do not be censored write what you want to no matter what it is. It does not matter who you are whether you like to write or not just what you need to get out let it out.

Most famous writters that we know of  today did not become famous while they were alive. Their work was published after their death. So for them what they wrote was for themselves or in the works. It could even happen to you if you just write what you feel, it may speak to others one day.

Music lover

When you were younger or maybe even now, you have gone to concerts to see/listen to a band that you like(d).  However for someone like me it is a frequent event. I love going to see my bands, seeing my concert buddies, and just letting go of the hardships for a night. Its more than just a concert its a night of freedom and happiness. These bands mean more to me than just music makers. We talk and hang out we get to know each other. They make me feel like a close friend rather than just another face in the crowd. Now I know what some of you are thinking "oh so she is a groupie". NO! I do not sleep with them or anything of that sort. I do not follow them everywhere I wait until they come to Arizona then I go see them. When the concert ends I go home and upload pictures and videos that I took of that night.

Let me explain to you more about how close I feel to my bands. I see them on face book, YouTube, twitter and any other social network. They talk about their band and keep us updated on their everyday lives. So in a way we know them because they share with us so much. Then once I get to meet them it becomes this whole new experience. Talking to them one on one and having them remember you is a wonderful feeling. Its more than just being a fan is being a supporter and a friend.

Some of the bands that I recently seen at a show is Action Item, Paradise Fears, and in 2 weeks I will be going to see Reverse Order!
