GETTING THE MOST FROM LIFE

• There are 2 billion years of history exposed on the sides
• Putting our lives into perspective
• Seeing how short our existence is
• Makes one want to make the most of theirs
• Before its too late

THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURE

• This is the home of the Puelblo people
• A native american tribe
• They have thrived there for thousands of years
• Living off the land
• Being fully appreciative of everything it had to offer

SIMPLICITY

• A simple flow of water created a world wonder
• A complex network of cliffs
• Simple techniques can create works of art

NON-CONFORMITY

• It took 17 million years to carve out the canyon
• Despite the solid rock, the water carved out its own path
• The water slowly but surely made its own course
• Independent of the rock beneath it

STANDING UP PEACEFULLY TO A RULING FORCE

• The earth= ruling force
• The water flows over the rock
• Over a long time, the rock slowly succumbs to the water
• The water peacefully overcomes the ruling force

SOCIETIES AFFECT ON AN INDIVIDUAL

• Another perspective of the flow of water
• Its course is affected by the densities of rock
• And landforms there before the water
• One could say the water was contorted by the earth
• The earth representing society, the water representing the individual
