those mountains

I wasn’t expecting this. This feeling of soft, absolute and embracing peace, of Dorothy’s assured utterance to Toto to linger in my mind…if indeed there is no place like home, why did I feel such home here? The mountains, faultlessly vibrant in tints of intoxicated nature, always placed perfectly in the horizon…and then not quite so far reaching, actually underneath your own two feet. However present in their exquisite grandeur, there is an undeniable charm here. The sky may be misty gray, or the most picturesque azure blue, it may be biting cold and snow for days or beam down the warmest rays of happy sunshine…there is just something about those mountains, those beautiful mountains in the distance.
