While the exact age of the Great Sand Dunes is unknown, geologists agree that the San Luis Valley’s strong southwesterly winds bear primary responsibility for their initial formation. For untold centuries, prevailing winds have swept loose sand eastward over and across the floor of the valley, piling it near a series of three low passes that form a distinct pocket in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains: Music Pass to the north, Medano Pass in the middle, and Mosca Pass to the south. Funneled into these low passes by the broad flanks of Blanca Peak and the formidable barrier of the high Sangres, the sand-laden wind loses its momentum to friction and turbulence.
No longer capable of carrying its load, the wind continually deposits sand at the foot of the Sangres. This process slowly formed the iconic sand dunes we know today. :: [Robert Scott Horton]

“We must see God not as a Him (some linear rewarding fellow) but an IT, a great beast beyond our understanding, who wants something from us, and we must give it, and all we may control is the spirit in which we give it and the ultimate end which the giving serves.” ― George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo

Nature, with its beauty and grace, taught me to embrace the stillness within and find peace amidst life's constant chaos. It shows me that sometimes the most profound conversations unfold in the gentle language of silence. I’m forever grateful every time I experience a tranquil moment that helps remind me of the delicate magic that exists all around us. 🌿✨

Just one of my favorite pictures ever. One of my bffs in the car ahead on our way to the great sand dunes last spring.
