Tell the story
behind the grand canyon.
There has been a
myth circulating for generations now; some believe it, and some
choose to call it rubbish and cast it to the back burner of their
mind while the world emits proof of its truth. This myth states that
whenever someone’s heart suffers a break, that the Earth also feels
this pain. These heartbreaks create fissures, valleys, and even the
cracks in the sidewalk that you are walking on right now.
You see that over
there? The people call that the Grand Canyon. It’s quite a tourist
attraction, but those who believe the myth know just how much hurt
there had to have been to create such a large, although beautiful,
natural disaster.
Me? Oh, well I’m
the fairy that watches over the heartbreaks and sees what damage they
do to the Earth. Every year, there are different consequences on the
earth for every broken heart; some being small, such as the cracks in
rocks that children see and admire when collecting pebbles from lakes
and rivers, and some are large, such as earthquakes and the breaking
of cliff edges.
Right, right...
Back to the Grand Canyon. Every year I see many people crest the area
to bask in the so-called “beauty” of the landscape. I, on the
other hand, sigh as I think back to just how this landscape came to
be... Nora was her name, and thousands of years ago she suffered what, at
that time, could have been the world’s greatest hurt.
