<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
I have enjoyed climbing many mountains in Scotland,<br />
some of them, several times.<br />
Rarely can one capture the scale,<br />
the grandeur, the humbling texture of rocks<br />
that have been metamorphosed and eroded<br />
for between 500 million and 3 billion years,<br />
almost three-quarters of the age, of this amazing planet.<br />
Awesome. Magnificent.<br />
Surreal. Moving.<br />
Dynamic. Fantastic.<br />
Many more adjectives trip off the tongue.<br />
No matter how pleasing the image,<br />
it comes nowhere near<br />
the ecstasy of being there,<br />
feeling that stunning reality,<br />
that wild, breath-taking beauty.<br />
The slope, near right, plunges<br />
almost 3,500 feet, straight down to the valley floor.<br />
Quite overwhelming. <br />
I am truly privileged to have felt this magic, so many times.<br />
I wish everyone could be there,<br />
and sense these emotions,<br />
on such a throne of the Gods.<br />
Alas, not possible……<br />
but this, is the nearest that I can offer!</p>
