on the tippy, tippy, top, top, top of the world

as amazing as the grand canyon is, and likely because of how amazing it is, i feel a huge sense of detachment from it all. though i am here, sitting on its perch, looking at the grand canyon thru my very own eyes; part of me feels i might as well be at home watching it on tv. not that i would rather be doing that. but i think people come here and expect to be moved by the spirit of god, or to feel some great spiritual connection with the universe. much like the lady i met earlier. but i don't feel that. what i feel is a barrier. i feel more detached from the world, my friends, my family - than i've ever felt before. and though this is all so very beautiful and somewhat overwhelming, it's nothing but a pretty picture.
