When you get to where the time stands still, you discover that the Hoodoos protect the space by providing Hard Rock umbrellas of stone…the sand erodes but does not dissolve the footprints… For many, the sand gets in their blood and removes any desire to be somewhere else… There are mighty bones of creatures that, in their day, had been tattooed by the teeth of a scavenger by balancing nature…3 seconds in a time 3 million years ago. You can journey to the Valley of the Castles to see 35 million year old sandcastles. Sculpted by the calloused hands of grandfather time. Wander amidst the petrified parade of graveyard floats…then settle in for a romantic moment standing on the plateau in “The Valley of the Moon”… For me this was love at first sight. From a distance the most stunning model I have ever seen - as a fool falling in love will do. I got closer. The closer I got, the more stunning she became. The closer I got, I could swear she wore no make-up. Just natural beauty! There was no pretense -just the raw strength of female power. As she accepted me I felt blessed to be in the womb of my Mother Earth.
