The careful fall of the snow hints to a repetitive future, Today: snow, Tomorrow: more snow. The idea that no matter what, the land will repeat it self would drive most men mad. Though too few have actually come out of it still attached to their sanity, i still cling to the idea that sanity cannot be lost, only misplaced.

I watch as the sun passes through it's habitual routine of setting, allowing the moon to gain its chance to rise and brighten the sky just enough to watch all the stars fall into place, as if they to follow some strict routine governed over a faceless master. All this and more, i watch. Some would say i have been here for far to long, though their perception of time is askew, turned backward, for their activities has lead them astray. No. My time here has been just right. This mountain, Natures fortress, has been my home for many years, though not by skill, no, but by good fortune. I've noticed that nature it self has deemed me worthy of living here, and by that decree i shall stay as long as i can.

No human force can drive me off, i am one with this place, this place that has claimed live's, sanity, peoples hopes and dreams. Their first mistake was that they deemed to conquer this place, with no regard to the mountain, to natures perception of them. They have all fallen one by one. I came with a different passion, to live amicably with nature, not to force it under my control. I have been here long enough to know, to understand, when and where the animals are, when to leave, when to eat, all to basic skills was taught to me, almost by the mountain himself

I breath for this place, this place of wonders, this place that full fills all needs, as only something of this great power can, at the cost of leaving behind basic human instinct. Nature, though she can be cruel, i pity the man who shakes his head at her in dismay, for who are we as humans to challenge such power, when it is ignorance such as this that takes away the live's and sanity.....


So, once again, at the setting of the sun, the rising of the moon, at the falling of the snow and the blowing of the wind, all this i have accepted will happen, and nothing in my nature can stop them from doing what nature and the mountain deem unnecessary. i have been here long enough to understand that i am a Human. It is with all this that i have been able to keep my life, to have been able to keep my sanity, no matter how many times i think nature is plotting, or what the mountain is whispering behind my back, i live because i have everything i need. my will power, and my sanity, both on firm leashes, both molded by my hands and nothing else..
