We are the mountains

We are the mountains, created in the birthing and the growth

with our own unique patterns of resistance and vulnerability.

Experience the snows, accumulating in the dark winters,

melting in spring to carve ever deepening channels

in a rush of longing for the unity of the sea.

Creativity the rains, flowing down and through

and shaped by that passage onto canvas and page,

into instrument and onto stage, into life:

each expression with its own distinctive character and form.
