Mountain Symphony

Commentary

You might think from the odd first line that I’m experiencing synesthesia. Who LISTENS to a painting? Who can HEAR the scene it depicts? Not me. And that’s just the point! 

I long to be IN the scene, for tight-in frames to fall away from a panoramic view. To hear. To feel. To be out there. To be UP there! To waken sleeping sympathies. 

Mountain men love mountain symphonies.

  1. Great point!
    Hiking and gazing in God’s amazing land is much better than staring at a picture however lovely it may be.
