Utah felt like another world. The colors alone—burnt red cliffs, pale stone arches, endless blue sky—were enough to stop me in my tracks. But it wasn’t just the landscapes. It was the stillness they asked of me. I remember thinking, “There’s something sacred here, even if you don’t have the words for it.”
What stayed with me were the silences. The hush of a canyon at sunrise. The way my footsteps echoed on desert trails. The way time bent just a little under the weight of so much beauty. I left Utah changed—not by a single moment, but by a thousand small ones that added up to wonder.
