I stand, arms outstretched, the sun beating on my face, the wind whipping my hair. As I glance around, all I can see for miles on end is beautiful expanses of red rock and snow-capped mountains. As I stood on top of the mountain staring at the beauty around me, It was hard not be thankful for the earth on which we live. I cannot remember the exact location of this beautiful landscape. I can only remember the awe which I felt as I stood gazing at the beauty around me. To my left I could see the snow-capped mountains glittering in the sun. To my right, I could see massive red cliffs shooting up to the sky. The only words to describe this experience are awesome, and spiritual. The experience was as if I was in a dream; flying away, escaping the world and reason. My mind was all encompassed by the sheer majesty of the view that surrounded me. I felt like a mere speck in the midst of massive world. But the other part of me was a queen, staring at the kingdom I rule. The cliffs that encircled me seemed to cry out and beg for me to climb them and unlock the enchanting mysteries they have held since the beginning of time. The wind that brushed my face whispered to me to continue my adventure on the mountain top. The very ground beat the like the drums of an ancient ceremony, making me want to feel each rock and understand what they were trying to say.
This inspiring experience is one I will never forget. Nature has always been something I long to be a part of. Being on a mountain top is one of the many places I revel in being. I have grown up experiencing the true majesty and unique beauty of the world around me. I have explored the nature around me since I was born; it has been a part of me since birth. The enjoyment which I feel each time I am surrounded by red cliffs or thickly mossed trees, grows with me. The experience described above had a particular effect upon me. As I stood on that mountain top, I truly realized the importance and grandness of this earth. This image has come upon me often as I contemplate the earth and its beauty. There was something magical about that mountain top that day. I am not sure what it was, but I have never been able to forget it. Details are forgotten with time, such as where this mountain was, but the feelings I had will never be forgotten. They are branded into my mind with such depth that I can still see and feel the things I did that day. The sounds of the wind, the heat of the sun, and the reverence I felt as I gazed at the landscape around me, are with me now forever.
I am like you. I love nature. There is nothing better in life than climbing to the top of a mountain and looking at the view. i totally agree.
ReplyDeleteHigh on a mountain top, there are fewer things that are more awe-inspiring. To be able to see God's creations in retrospect to the limited view down under is truly breathtaking. It's kind of like your eyes are being opened to a new light previously hidden from down below. I guess you can take this metaphorically; you can stay at the bottom and enjoy the easy life, or you can make the journey to the top, have a much better view and laugh at the people still at the bottom.
