How massively the mountains stand, while low to the ground the sand blows. the sand blows on and on. and then there are no mountains, none at all, the sand has kissed and whispered them away. and still, the sand blows on.

More From Tanith Lee

Before practicing meditation, we see that mountains are mountains. when we start to practice, we see that mountains are no longer mountains. after practicing a while, we see that mountains are again mountains. now the mountains are very free. our mind is still with the mountains, but it is no longer bound to anything.
Practice Meditation Mind
The famous zen parable about the master for whom, before his studies, mountains were only mountains, but during his studies mountains were no longer mountains, and afterward mountains were again mountains could be interpreted as an alleory about [the perpetual paradox that when one is closest to a destination one is also the farthest).

An ancient buddha said, “mountains are mountains; waters are waters.” these words do not mean mountains are mountains; they mean mountains are mountains.
Mean Water Mountain
Isabella swan?” he looked up at me through his impossibly long lashes, his golden eyes soft but, somehow, still scorching. “i promise to love you forever—every single day of forever. will you marry me?” there were many things i wanted to say, some of them not nice at all, and others more disgustingly gooey and romantic than he probably dreamed i was capable of. rather than embarrass myself with either, i whispered, “yes.” “thank you,” he said simply. he took my left hand and kissed each of my fingertips before he kissed the ring that was now mine.
Nice Love You Eye
The secret of the mountain is that the mountains simply exist, as i do myself: the mountains exist simply, which i do not. the mountains have no "meaning," they are meaning; the mountains are. the sun is round. i ring with life, and the mountains ring, and when i can hear it, there is a ringing that we share. i understand all this, not in my mind but in my heart, knowing how meaningless it is to try to capture what cannot be expressed, knowing that mere words will remain when i read it all again, another day.
Heart Knowing Secret
We lay on the ground and kissed. perhaps you smile. that we only lay on the ground and kissed. you young people can lend your bodies now, play with them, give them as we could not. but remember that you have paid a price: that of a world rich in mystery and delicate emotion. it is not only species of animal that die out. but whole species of feeling. and if you are wise you will never pity the past for what it did not know. but pity yourself for what it did.
