OUTDOOR INSPIRATION FILM THE ELDER

This is the last of it...Of Souls + Water. Have a good weekend!

Episode V - THE ELDER At 68, Rob Elliot has guided 200+ trips on the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river in Arizona. How do you want to be remembered, when this life joins the wind? What did you leave, in these chasms, upon these lives, young & curious? What did you write? What dust in the rain, sand in the rivers? Those you touched, embraced and kissed, loved... what echoes there? How will it travel, your wisdom, your story, your suffering and joy? These walls, silent, deafening, ancient and new. What did you make them, what did they make of you? A life running, teaching or learning, what is escape? What did you find? Wind, replenishing rain, sun. Who did these thorns see? What did these waters wash from you? The stars, in the abyss beyond, how did they shine, on you? Will you release the storm, the scars, whirling as they go, yet holding love, life? The luminous child, the harsh knowing of age, what did you leave behind?
