To y'all who live with mountians:
How does it feel to not being able to see the horizon?
How does it feel to have something looming over your home all day every day?
How does it feel when you approach, taking in their true scale and size?
How does it feel when you begin to climb, scaling heights few people do?
How does it feel when you inhale the clean, fresh air, and are rejuvenated as you continue the challenge of ascending?
How does it feel when you reach the summit, exhausted and triumphant?
How does it feel when you see the beauty of the surrounding land from a perspective that few get to experience?
How does it feel?
SpoilerWanted to make a quick rant about mountains, living in Texas FLATLAND. Then it turned poetic. Behold my 7 minutes of work.
Mountains do seriously freak me out. Like they are always there. I've also seen people come to Texas and freak out about the lack of mountians. The certianty of the mountians really does just loom over me.

To you who live without mountains:
How do you live without them?
How do you live with no guides?
Is it like a house with no walls?
Do the skyscrapers replace the calm certainly of the stones?
Does it feel unfinished, like a half-colored picture?
How do you stop being afraid?
SpoilerI can get out of service and lost in the mountains in 10 minutes, any direction. (Actually a little longer for some).
I get really bad panic attacks when I’m not surrounded by mountains. There’s no logic but…I need them?

I live in uniformity.
No crust is broken to act as my compass,
But no fences arise to keep me locked in.
We scrape the sky because of the certianty of the dirt below,
And the sky chooses to paint itself, for it has no peaks to color it.
The openess gives us joy.
SpoilerThis kind of discourse should be more common @Edema Rue

See, my life isn't openness, because generally there are too many trees and/or buildings for me to see the horizon anyway.
It's just comforting to have something so large and stable around you. It's not trapping you; if anything, it's inviting you to explore, to see what's beyond the peak. It's like the moon. Comforting, and inviting you to explore.
