Ditat Deus

"God Enriches"

This is the Latin on the state seal of Arizona.

There is no more fitting phrase for the state of Arizona.
The state of copper, the state of sunflowers.
The state of the Grand Canyon, the most naturally beautiful place I have ever laid eyes on.
The state of nearly all my childhood memories, filled with wonderful people and dynamic settings.

I used to think Arizona was nothing more than a barren wasteland, then I learned there is so much more to Arizona than the small corner of Phoenix where I grew up.

Arizona truly is beautiful, and although part of me wants to leave, another part of me would never give up my state for the world.
