A Loud Silence

Olympic Mountains
Pines in Clouds
Pine and Droplets
Line of Pines
Mountainous Layers
Mountain Peace
Mountain Sunset

The earth is bigger than we are. Nature is mightier than we are.

When you’re on the ridge with your partner, though, doesn’t your love feel huge? Even though you’re dwarfed by everything around, somehow, your lives together feel more important. They swell. All that is delicate inside shapes us stronger. My chest expanded with my breath and more.

The clouds rolled in and over us.

The sky was hidden and then shone gold.

What can I say? What can I say?

Mountains speak louder than words.
