and I'll tell ya why. (I've been writing this for a while now and i'm sorry if its a little jumbled. I'm trying not to edit it too much and just letting it be like it came out :)
Over the past few years I've developed such a love for mountains. really any kind. I love big green rolling hills also but I really love mountains. I live in a state that doesn't have any real mountains. Some areas having some hills but not enough to fill my love ;] We visited some friends in Virgina a while ago and they live in a beautiful huge house nestled in the the Blue Ridge mountains. I can't remember much because I was sick but I do remember walking outside and seeing the beautiful mountains. It was so peaceful and calm. I hope we get a chance to go there again, I would love to really soak them in and photograph the whole place.
back to the orginal question: Why do I love mountains so much? well here's my answers :)
They remind me of how great and mighty our God is. A refuge. such a strong tower. Constant. Always there. Such a part of my heart.
There's something about the country and mountains that is so calming and peaceful to me. I'm not really a city girl, with all the hustle and bustle. I would be happy with some country side and my camera in my hand. When we go visit my mom's family in the country and amidst huge hills, I feel content. When I see pictures of mountains or see them in person, I seem to rediscover myself. When I feel really bad [physically or emotionally] I long to see the mountains and their beauty. My mom says I could be a hermit, honestly I could be. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the people in my life. love. But I do have my times where I love to be alone. I'm not afraid or weak or anything. I'm content being alone sometimes. Maybe that's why I love mountains so much. They are strong, beautiful and a reflection of God's power and majesty.
taken just outside my Great Granparent's house :) LOVE this view. *sigh* |
they also say some sort of adventure or fun. :) I love nature period. And different countires and their landscapes. someday I would love to travel the world and explore. And photograph it. I dream of doing that.
we should go trekking through the mountains together, sometime. here in AZ, we have tons of hiking trails. the view is always lovely.
ReplyDeletei love love love the mountains too. just want to share, last April was my first hike and for sure there's more to come, hehe. Mountains are so beautiful. i think you should go hiking too... And God's creation really shows how awesome and mighty He is. :)
ReplyDeleteI've lived at the base of a mountain rage for the past ten years and the state I live in is covered in mountains. It really is a beautiful place to be (plus we get more snow :P). And I so agree...I can't see the beautiful mountains without thinking about the powerful God who created then.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! I love mountains too. :) I guess I just have to settle for our fields. When I need alone time... Time to think... Time to talk with God, I go wayy deep in the fields, or sometimes into the woods. When I come back- I'm happier and seem to bring back the calm happiness from the woods, until it goes away with time and I need to go back. Does that sound weird? lol Me too- I could never live in the city. I always say to Mom and Dad when they talk of moving "I will go into the field and pour concrete on my feet. I won't leave." ;) We should travel to Ireland sometime. :)
