The Canyon and the Mesas: A Parable

By Bowdrie Clawson

A parable about life's journey, divine guidance, and the eternal promise of reunion in Jesus Christ.

From the heights of a sunlit mesa, a company of travelers gaze toward another, higher mesa across a vast canyon. To reach it, they must descend into shadow-into twisting trails, sudden storms, and long days of weariness and wonder. Along the way are cairns to guide them, companions to lift them, and choices that test their resolve. Step by step, they press on toward the place of gathering and joy that waits beyond the canyon.

The Canyon and the Mesas is a modern Christian parable that reflects the Plan of Salvation: our premortal beginning, our mortal trials, and the eternal joy of return. With simple beauty and timeless imagery, this story invites reflection on the signs God places in our path, the fellowship that sustains us, and the hope of a higher home.

Whether read as a devotional, shared in a study group, or pondered in quiet moments, this story offers encouragement to all who have felt the weight of the climb, the pull of eternity, and the Savior's promise of everlasting joy.
