There are so many incredible sights along the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument. As it flows from Colorado into Utah, the river passes rugged canyons, Native American petroglyphs, a historic ranch and numerous fossil sites. The Jurassic fossils helped develop the science of paleontology and gave the park its name. Photo by Nancy Danna (www.sharetheexperience.org).

River Bends Through 1,000-Foot Canyons

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station shot this photograph of the Green River flowing through deep, red rock canyons in eastern Utah. A main tributary of the Colorado River, the Green flows 730 miles (1,175 kilometers) through Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. The portion of the Green River in this image is just north of Canyonlands National Park.

Bowknot Bend was named for the way the river loops back on itself. Located in Labyrinth Canyon about 25 miles west of Moab, Utah, this river bend runs 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) in a circular loop and ends up 1,200 feet (360 meters) from where it first started. When the two sides of the river merge someday, Bowknot Bend will break off from the main channel and form a lake.

I know you'll help us

When you're

Feeling better and we realize

That it might not be for a long, long time

But we're willing to wait on you

We believe in everything that you can do

If you could only lay down your mind

I want you to try to help yourself

Take the time to take apart

Each brick that sits outside your heart

And look around you

There's people everywhere

No they don't always show

They're just as scared

And we'd be more prepared

If we pulled on through

I want you to try to help yourself

Oceans of water underneath our feet

Terrible design

Dusty rooms you cannot sweep

Clouding up your mind

I know you'll help us when you're

Feeling better

And we realize that it might not be

For a long, long time

But we, we lend the weight on you

We believe in everything that you can do

If you could only lay down your mind

I want you to try to help yourself

“How do we forgive our Fathers?

Maybe in a dream

Do we forgive our Fathers for leaving us too often or forever

when we were little?

Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage

or making us nervous

because there never seemed to be any rage there at all.

Do we forgive our Fathers for marrying or not marrying our Mothers?

For Divorcing or not divorcing our Mothers?

And shall we forgive them for their excesses of warmth or coldness?

Shall we forgive them for pushing or leaning

for shutting doors

for speaking through walls

or never speaking

or never being silent?

Do we forgive our Fathers in our age or in theirs

or their deaths

saying it to them or not saying it?

If we forgive our Fathers

What is left?”

Energy cleansing is not a glamorous process. It is not good vibes, yoga and buddha bowls. It’s heavy, deep and can feel very ugly. Most people like to pretend healing is just magic and positive vibes. Healing is accepting + integrating painful experiences from the past. Honesty and transparency are important. Allow yourself to feel whatever you feel, and don’t hide it. Don’t be ashamed of it ever. Don’t feed into the new age movement. It does more harm than healing.
