standing on its precipice
realizing –
for Mohammed
the mountain didn’t move
and even less for me

Linked to Real Toads, where Hannah wants us to be inspired by her upcoming tour to the Mountains. Me — I’m filled with envy.

I love it. I know how you love being out in the mountains, Bjorn – hope you get there yourself, soon.
Yes, I echo Sherry about the mountains, Bjorn. I’m sorry to cause envy and my heart’s warmed to know we hold kinship of loving mountains together…I’ll think of you and my brother, (it will be his Birthday), when I place my stone at the top. 🙂
Oh, and also…I enjoyed your poem and the facet that you brought with moving mountains. Thank you for joining today!
At some point, we all must bow to the inevitable – which, given what humankind gets up to, is probably a good thing . . . overall.
when mountains move
even the tiniest bit
it is a terrible thing
Cheers!

I like that. Yes, the mountain doesn’t move but it moves those who see her.
Simply … elegant.
Bjorn, There are ways to move mountains, but not physically. We have to move them in our minds where they stand for something. 🙂 —Susan
Actually, you’d have to have a “lot” of faith to move a mountain. 🙂 —Susan
I think the mountain will move you instead.. 😉
but we can surely move to the mountains
smiles…now that fall is coming i look forward to traipsing the mountains in their colour…
I will have to go up there and check that out myself! What a beautiful invitation to engage!
I love it, Bjorn. Yes, let us go. You have found a beautiful mountain too. Believe it or not, the El Paso mountain does get snow covered once a year average. It is very pretty that way.

Excellent final line – and overall observation.
Deep reflection in this..some mountains move, others we must climb
