5x7 Quotable Art Card Narrative: “Of all my traveling companions over time, the most perfect I have ever known was also the most sublime. A transcendent magician with a sense of exquisite timing, knowing no obstacles on the path of life, while always moving and subliming. One whose travels never seemed on a clock or on a timer, and inspired simple awe in all sublimate forms, expressions, and manners – indeed a true sublimer.
I learned a secret from my timeless traveler friend – the drop, the trickle, the flow, the river, and its transcending wet – passing me by while whispering worldly wisdoms that only I could whet, and revealing that if there is magic on this planet to bend, with time it is most certainly contained in a drop of water my friend – and on that you can surely bet!
Have you learned that magic secret from water’s flow – that there is no such thing as time, that it does not exist static, and that it is everywhere and nowhere, and not at all in a line? It is on the air, and in the ground, upon the currents of the condensing clouds that lift, and in their drops that fall without resist, into a flow through the rivers and currents that meander into all oceans, then once again lift.
My friend, who is the flow of magic and its timeless secrets shown – and held in self – is the most perfect time traveler I have ever known, because when it does it transcends and becomes the path itself! Indeed, on the self-made path of the timeless traveler I must insist, that the secrets revealed are indeed our journey’s gifts, as one travels all places simultaneously in the here and now of our present’s drift – not upon the hopes of distant future's wished, nor in the shadows of life’s past rifts.” ~ Jack Mountain
Elves Chasm is a magical little treat found along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The rock formations here are the oldest in the Grand Canyon, dating to over 1.8 billion years ago. With plenty of adversity, if you persist and make it here, you are rewarded with a lovely force of nature waterfall and pool, great for swimming and relaxing. Ferns and Redbud trees enclose the area, making this the complete feel of a true desert oasis worthy of the effort. Accessing this remote place from the Grand Canyon’s South Rim, a hike spanning multiple days, helps keep this magical natural wonder one of the better kept secrets in the canyon, but it is easy to enjoy if you are coming from the river, because you are on a rafting trip. A stop at Elves Chasm seems to be on every river trip checklist, so if a short and easy hike up to a picturesque waterfall appeals to you, with billions of years of rock history to view up close and personal along the way, then Elves Chasm is your hike. Even if you easily got there, it will be easy to relax, ponder, and appreciate water as a force of nature, always winning through adversity by persistence – and that is the flow of water and the magic of life.
