#38 Over the Mountains of Montserrat

By Bryan | Published: 21st Oct, 2019



Today, I got this photo taken from the top of the mountain range of Montserrat. Quite a striking rock formation with its distinctive pink conglomerate. Reaching its peak, I felt that familiar childhood nostalgia. A great reminder of how powerful imaginations are.

Growing up, I used to think mountains draw the edge where heaven and earth ends.

At the back of our old family house, I remember the plain golden brown farm that sets that seemingly endless horizon. And the backdrop is a mountain range — trying to blend in with the blue skies. Majestic.

What’s behind those mountains? Where does it end?

I can still picture that thought vividly. Closing my eyes. Bravely climbing to reach the mountaintops and leaning at the very edge where I believed to have been— where all journey ends.

And as I slowly open my eyes, the sun begins to slip behind the mountains. The skies dyed in red, orange, and purple.

Then, pitch dark.

    It's always amazing to hear what children see and believe.

    So innocent and true.

    You believed that mountains are the place where earth ends and heaven begins. As a child, I believed that the sea ends at some point, in the distance, and I couldn't understand if it goes somewhere or what happens. I could see the horizon and it seemed like that was it.

    I always imagined how was it like if we get past it — such a powerful imagination for a kid, isn't it?
