Few people get to spend extended time visiting the Grand Canyon. This is just as well, for coming to know the Canyon in any intimate way can change your life....and who needs that ? It would be far safer to simply follow this author as she finds herself captivated by the Canyon and compelled to arrange for a part-time sabbatical year on the South Rim. So lace up your virtual hiking boots and come experience the Canyon's geography, geology, ecology, climatology, sociology, psychology, theology, paleontology, and politics through the lens of Deep Time as Sacred Space. Fair warning: the author secretly hopes that the Canyon will work its magic on you as if you too were actually there
