Women's Rafting on the Colorado River Utah

"I need more, I need more, I need more, baby, I need more!
I need a whole lot more than you will ever know.

'Cause I'm too much cat for some weakly kitten.
Too much woman to just sit home knittin'
Too much horse for a pony race
I'm a long-distant rocket and I need more space."

Journal entry, Gay Nicholson

"At Westwater, I went as far back as a human can go. In sand between black rocks I made my bed. The rocks are gneiss... Give or take a billion years, they are the oldest things on earth, the oldest things you can see, that you lie your face against, that you can stretch your naked body on."

Marshall

"And words of ancient lore spoken in shady
places, under the juniper tree

Wisdom, peace, and the wild nature of things
passed along."

Pat Holland

"Air around me is room temp. A steady, friendly breeze comes up from the river. We sip wine and share stories. Laughter. Chatter. Utter contentment. Peace. Solace. Hold onto this moment. As close to perfection as it gets."
