Have you ever held a mountain?
Cupped it gently in your hand?

Sifted slow its granite sand?
Brushed its trees and touched its meadows,
Heard its glaciers grinding down,
Felt wet and rocky muscle
Under flesh of green and brown? ... to the closing. And then, the reader will immediately start from the beginning, savoring the words and photos once again.
