    Well said. It was something before it became a mountain!

  • sorenbarrett

    Short and sweet it speaks of what isn't until in the end it is. Well done my friend

  • Jerry Reynolds

    Well done as usual. Kurt.

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Kurt, there’s something wonderfully paradoxical here…that movement from “what it isn’t” to the moment it simply becomes. The final turn feels almost philosophical, like the instant where possibility crosses the threshold into reality. A small poem with a surprisingly large echo, as it were. Well done, here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

      Thanks. "Surprisingly large echos" are the goal. Your words are eloquent as always.

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Indeed! Thank you, my friend. As are yours!

      • Soman Ragavan

        One way of deciphering it is : we can challenge what is before us, until the point where the final proof makes us give in. This could be one interpretation.

        Thanks Friendship.
