There once was
a very tall mountain
that rose from
a very deep sea.
They were in love,
admiring each
other from afar,
believing that they
were never to meet.
See, if the mountain
were to bend
down to the sea,
it would no longer
be a mountain.
And if the sea
were to rise up
to the mountain,
horrible things
would happen.
Between the mountain
and the sea, there was life.
All this life,
all these beings,
depended
on the mountain
and the sea
to stay as they are.
The villagers
prayed to the mountain
and to the sea
to remain calm
and not get so
carried away.
Despite their denials,
everyone knew
that eventually
the mountain would crumble
and the sea would rise,
and all would be one.
Meanwhile,
they pretended
to have these separate lives.
Like it mattered.
Everything was one already.
The mountain
and the sea
were imaginary,
like all else.
As was the love
they had for each other.
And so the mountain
and the sea remain
seemingly separate
to this day.
The mountain
and the sea are one.
They don’t NEED love.
But they imagine it anyway.

Deep within the silent stories of nature, the tale of the mountain and the sea unfurls — a poignant narrative of longing, love, and the boundaries that seemingly divide them. This story, though rooted in elements of the earth, transcends the realms of the tangible, reaching the very heart of existence.
The mountain, majestic and towering, yearns for the embrace of the vast, endless sea. The sea, with its deep mysteries and expansive horizons, reaches out with waves of longing towards the mountain’s peak. Yet, between them exists a vast chasm of responsibilities and consequences. Their love is not merely a personal affair but holds the balance of life itself.
Nature, in all its grandeur, is also the delicate keeper of balance. The creatures and beings that exist between the mountain and the sea rely on this equilibrium. They thrive in the dance of stability, where the mountain stands tall, and the sea stays deep.
But life, ever intuitive, understands the undercurrents of this eternal love story. The villagers, while revering the sanctity of the mountain and sea, also acknowledge the impending union. In hushed whispers, they speak of a time when the mountain shall crumble, and the sea shall rise, heralding a union that was always meant to be.
Yet, the tale takes an existential turn, moving from the realm of physical existence to the conceptual. The very nature of separation is questioned, as are the entities of the mountain and sea. Perhaps they are mere constructs, imagined fragments of a unified whole. Their love, too, becomes an imagined sentiment, a testament to the grand cosmic play where everything is both real and illusion.
In this revelation, the truth emerges — everything is intrinsically one. The divisions are but a whimsical creation, and love, while imagined, becomes a beautiful expression of this boundless unity.
