A Mountain’s Advice

By Sara Jane

When you look at a mountain, what do you see?

 

Is it an obstacle or is it a challenge?

 

Something that stops you in your tracks or something that is a challenge to overcome and support you to learn and grow?

 

Have you ever spent any time in the mountains?

 

What did you see?

 

Were there trees and plants growing round boulders and scree paths?

 

Were there any wild animals foraging for food or just playing in warm sunshine?

 

Was there snow on the ground with the whole landscape painted white?

 

Did you stop and listen to the silence, the song of the Earth away from the hustle and bustle of human life?

 

Nature has so much to offer us, if we but have eyes to see and ears to listen.
