PATRICK MARCHAL

A mountain, any mountain needs to be seen from a distance.

Because only from a distance, its presence can start to vibrate, to reveal.
This right distance is a mystery in itself. It cannot be measured and it can never be the same.
You do not have to approach. The distance learns that it is the mountain that comes to you.
There will first be a sphere of awareness, where light and darkness celebrate their never ending entanglement.
But a mountain remains true to itself.
It is pure being, pure with a taste of eternity.

Only in the proximity of a lake, near to the humble listening of the water, a mountain can unveil its most hidden part.
Because inside of it there is a longing, as if it was a fire, that wants to break through the immobility of the rock.
That wants to break through the heavy layers of memory, who have shaped its stony mass. To forget, at last.
To drift and float away. As a cloud. Forever free.
