Mountains have always captured our imaginations, calling us to scale their
heights, to circle and worship at their feet, and to pay homage to their
greatness. Mountains can be seen from thousands of miles away, and if we are
lucky enough to be on top of one, we can see great stretches of the
surrounding earth. As a result, mountains symbolize vision, and the ability
to rise above the adjacent lowlands and see beyond our immediate vicinity.
From the top of the mountain, we are able to witness life from a new
perspective -- cities and towns that seem large when we are in them look
tiny. We can take the whole thing in with a single glance, which helps us
remember how big this world truly is.
Mountains are almost always considered holy and spiritual places, and the
energy at the top of a mountain is undeniably unique. When we are on top of a
mountain, it is as if we have ascended to an alternate realm, one in which
the air is purer and the energy lighter. Many people have climbed to the top
of a mountain in order to connect with a higher source of understanding, and
many have come back down feeling stronger and wiser. Whenever we are feeling
trapped or limited in our vision, a trip to the nearest mountain may be just
the cure we need.
There’s a reason that mountain views are so highly prized in this world, and
it is because, even from a distance, mountains remind us of how small we are,
which often comes as a wonderful relief. They also illustrate our ability to
connect with higher energy. As they rise up from the earth, sometimes
disappearing in the clouds that gather around them, they are a visual symbol
of the earth reaching up into the heavens. Whether we have a mountain view
out of our window or just a photograph of a mountain where we see it every
day, we can rely on these earthly giants to provide inspiration, vision, and
a daily reminder of our humble place in the grand scheme of life.
