“The din of the dusty world and the locked-in-ness of human habitations are what human nature habitually abhors; while on the contrary, haze, mist, and the haunting spirits of the mountains are what human nature seeks, and yet can rarely find.”
While I turned my head
that traveler I’d just passed
melted into mist.
The experience of walking in the mountains when they are covered in mist evokes an overwhelming emotion in us, a mix of fear and euphoria, of wonder and at the same time we become aware of our own temporality.
