Chapter 3 | Whispers of the Ancestral Canyons

The Nomadic Monk

From the vast expanses of the Salt Flats to the rugged heights of Mt. Rishel to the desert depths of Canyonlands National Park, Fr. Nathan Sparks explores Utah. Wandering in the heat of day and the dark of night with five gallons of water upon his back, he encounters the fragility of his human condition. Humility becomes the theme as he is stretched from the heights to the depths, reflecting upon his own littleness and the greatness of the Creator.
