Amid the hills
to contemplate.
Stilled by beauty.
Majestic landscape
lifts my spirit,
validates me.
A reminder
of my insignificance.
Existence
upon this earth
is my joy.
Whichever other
revelations
living may bring
are blessings,
my wealth.

Thanks for the best way to a really wonderful outlook on life my friend.
It's heartfelt, I wish it was there for us all the time.
what a delightful perspective you have shared with us here.... I could close my eyes and almost be back in my little mountain retreat.... cheers sir..
It's a different reality from city life for sure.
indeed sir...
You've set me off on a song now, with them quiet hills. Pity I sound like two cats fighting! lol.
I'll leave a saucer of milk out for your felines to fight over.
Thanks *DA* for caring & sharing ! Angela & I love HILLS & MOUNTAINS and the higher we get (17,000 ft in PERU) the nearer to HEAVEN we get. We do take care and have proper BOOTS ~ Safety Kit and all the GEAR ~ We don't want to get to HEAVEN ~ TOO SOON ! We are both Qualified in Mountain Leadership for leading Young People on Expeditions in Snowdonia ~ The Lake District & Scotland. Some kids from ESSEX have never been higher than 1000 feet so a trip to the Lake District is a real EYE OPENER ! If we move too fast they often get breathless @ 2000 ft !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Dont forget to feel insignificant up there will ya?
THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT *DA* As far as ANGELA & I are concerned we always feel humbled by Mountains even after weve stood on the SUMMIT ! Some Climbers do tick them off (like a Grocery List) once they have been *Conquered* (their word not mine !). I like Sir Edmund Hillary (NZ ~ First Man to Climb Everest) but his expression to the Team on the way down was *WE knocked the Bugger off !* a better comment would have been *One small step for Man ~ One giant leap for Mankind*
YOURS ~ BRIAN 🧡
Recently saw a queue on Everest.... blackpool in the alps eh? I expect there's a sherpa take-away in the foothills... how long before we hear complaints about plastic wipes littering there too? Is it the Munroe's most climbers 'bag' up in scotland.
You lucky people over there in NZ though... the south island looks like my kind of wonderland - though sadly not as fit as i'd need to be to exist there.
Thanks for looking in and your comments both.
So very true, those hills can show us so much and give us so much peace.
I need to get out there more often.
Whenever we would go to the hill stations for summer, I would wander off and contemplate as you poem has so rekindled those pleasant memories. Nature has a way to make us so insignificant in the realm of space.
Absolutely hit the nail on its head there.
