It works even when it doesn't.

The breathtaking beauty and serenity of a landscape, with towering mountains, impassable chasms, unfathomable depths, are there in part to remind us that life is all of those things as well. And it is more. Life is perfect for the challenges it offers, along with its unexpected juxtapositions. Our experiences, along with the influences of others and of the times we grew up in, often defines the questions we seek the answers to. Sweetened by hope for a better tomorrow. And in part brought to pass through ones dedicated effort in overcoming long odds.

For seeing the potential of the heavens under seemingly impervious exteriors. Feel connected and concerned with the world, its creatures, its present and future. Love, feeling or emotion in action.
