Nature

I stare out into the endless mountains of Blue.
It’s like looking across a bottomless sea, vast, but peaceful.
Mornings are the best time to be standing here.
Blankets of heavy fog cover the ground, just barely allowing the mountains to peek through.
The mountains reach alpine heights, still, but always different.
How can something stay so still, but always change and develop more beauty every time you see it?
Mixes of emotions swirl inside me. Up here, on this rock, I feel free.
I feel lonely.
I feel big, like I’m looking over the whole world.
I also feel small, smaller than I've ever felt.
I want to bottle up this moment and keep it forever.
Cool, fresh air fills my lungs. It doesn’t smell like pollution, though; it smells like nature.
Just nature.
Amazing.
I feel connected to nature, always have.
I guess this place, this beautiful place, I want to keep it with me, in my head, in my heart, in my soul.
