Inner Canyon
by Gail Collins-Ranadive
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!

Long Description
Why should someone pick up Inner Canyon? Visitors overwhelmingly report that the Grand Canyon makes them feel small, and insignificant. Yet spending extended time on the south rim of Grand Canyon National Park can reveal a sense of deep connectedness with the story of our Earth that has unfolded for over 4 billion years to include us humans. With the awareness of deep time that the Grand Canyon shows us, we can take our rightful place within a larger story than the one we brought there with us. Inner Canyon, Where Deep Time Meets Sacred Space, is less about the Canyon than an experience of it that is then shared with readers fascinated by this international treasure.
