Rising ground, steadfast form, silent witness of time.
From Olympus to Kailash, mountains were seen as homes of gods, places of pilgrimage, and gates to the divine.
Strength, endurance, challenge. The mountain embodies both obstacle and sacred height.
It speaks of resilience, perspective, and the courage to face what seems impossible.
Visualise a mountain before you. Ask: am I meant to climb, to circle, or to rest in its shadow?
The mountain endures because stone stands longer than any age — a mirror of patience and power.
