Casting Your Troubles Into the Grand Canyon Matt Landry

It's often said that nature holds the power to heal us...
... Maybe it really reveals what we're made of.
... So we can heal ourselves.

Is the Grand Canyon big enough to handle all your problems? Your worries? Your troubles?

Is it possible to just cast your troubles and woes into the Grand Canyon to see them gently float down and disappear?
I walked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to find out for myself.

"A well-crafted short narrative. It takes you visually down into the Grand Canyon while also taking you inside yourself and your desire to connect with the experience rather than the selfie."

For years, nature has taught us so many important lessons. The most important may be that we're a part of nature itself.

Hiking has a way of bringing us closer to nature.

Healing us.

Reminding us of what's important and where our priorities are and should be. It makes us feel small, yet a bigger part of the universe around us.

In this short memoir, I take the time to reflect upon the mental healing that occurred in me through being a part of something much bigger than myself.

The trails, the mountains, and the Grand Canyon.
