While traveling down a southern Utah highway, I zoned out on a lone mountain. It has stood there, slowly eroding, yet its billion-year-existence has seen everything, from the turbulent inland sea that flooded over its head to the trains of Starlink lights crossing the sky.
Make sure she leaves the U turned open end up. I live in a country once where they fitted horseshoes on their trucks open side down. It was a miserable little country, all because the horseshoes weren’t able to catch good luck when it rained down.
Life in a sparkly.
Yeah, the canyon is like that. Zowie.

I love both of these, Sharron. Inspiration can come in a tiny "U" or a grand canyon.
PS - I love reading your 50 (100) word stories. You so capture a moment in just a few words. That's a gift.
Uplifting! Inspiring! Namaste!🙏
It’s a cliché, but it’s true. Pictures don’t do the Grand Canyon justice. It has to be seen in person.
.. lovin them .. ‘in the eyes of the beholder’ .. said so well.. remarkable !
You inspire me to look for omens today!, I never want to be so complacent as to think I always know what awaits.

Oh sparkly U! I am listening to Ten Sharp's "You". Wonderful words, Sharron!
Dang, Sharron,
Those two bits worth of micro fiction are really good. Masterful. I mean Mistressful.
Both stories...FANTASTIC. Always a little highlight in my day 😊
Two absolute gems, Sharron. “U” make Substack a wonderful place to be.
Hopefully we'll never get so old as to lose our sense of awe when it beckons.
That 80 year old woman is going to be me someday. No doubt about it!
Breathtaking, both!
I even found myself thinking 'wow, however did Sharron find a picture to show EXACTLY what she is describing here in this story?' 🤣
The Grand Canyon sounds absolutely incredible - I've only seen it in pictures and on screen, so have very little sense of its scale. Just wow.
