庄子说，“世界有大美而不言，四时有明法而不议。。。”
我想我们对世界馈赠的大美和四时之明法的回应，应当是去感受，去拥抱，然后感恩。
十月的第二个周末，我们赶赴了科罗拉多州的金秋盛会。短短的三天，体验了持续高能的全方位冲击。感官上，科州高原，峡谷大山里壮阔灿烂的绝世秋色，带给人超强的视觉震撼，眼前的，身后的，天上的，地下的，无处不在。驾驶在山中小路，惊险无比，让我们的小心脏狂跳不已，那是勇气和信心的考验。正是在这些崎岖的山路上，在每次心惊胆颤之后，领略到了大自然给予的无与伦比的馈赠。
这个旅程实实在在是挤出来的。因为近期工作繁忙，无法安排更多的时间，所以行程安排非常紧张，可谓披星戴月，星夜兼程。但当我终于来到这里，身陷其中之后，每个瞬间，都会由衷感叹，不虚此行，人间值得。
我想，努力是值得的。学习，工作，生活要努力，连旅行，也要努力，努力地奔赴。你看那上帝赐予的美好，它一直在那里，为你准备着，花开叶落均有时。圣经说，“寻找的， 就寻见； 叩门的， 就给他开门”。寻，叩，奔，这些主动词是多么的关键。而我们人生短暂，若不努力地多走那么一程，多攀一座山，去奔赴领受那些美好，或许便是永远错过。 错过的也许是风景，也许是领悟，也许是人生画卷里的一抹色彩。
我也希望借此机会来道一声感谢。感谢那些无私分享旅行攻略和信息的人们！此次科州之旅，几位旅行博主的文章对我帮助极大。尤其感谢文学城博主熊猫媳妇的大作《科州赏秋之葵花宝典》，和另一位博主DeepCreek几年前的一篇博文《科罗拉多秋色》。可以说大美就在那里，但我们若不知道那些山中小径，便无法体会到那种极致之美丽。谢谢！谢谢你们花时间做的总结和分享。
《风》
车开着 停着
人走着 站着
一转身
眼泪就止不住了
是风太大
还是世界太美
我们渺小地
依偎在大地的怀里
就
像风一样自由
像山一样坚定
像白杨树的叶子
灿烂地
灿烂地 归向尘里

一下是行程分享，如前所述，行程安排非常紧，但如果时间有限，是可行的。

想以此机会感谢许多热心分享的博主！尤其这次科州之行受益于熊猫媳妇的《科州赏秋之葵花宝典》，和另一位博主DeepCreek文章。没有你们的热心分享，世界纵有大美，我等怕也错过了。多谢！
一家人一台车，真是有点不敢在小路上开，所以错过很多美景。包括徒步，人不多，也不敢太远走。
本来想写些啥，忽然想起唱过的这首歌，正好和你呼应…
宝典里面有一处说google 地图有错。我当时没明白，还是跟着google走了，结果走到死胡同，才恍然大悟
还是宝典靠谱！
