The Road Between Sea and Mountain
What stands between a mountain and the sea? Between this mountain and this sea stands a road. A simple road. A road that sometimes slithers up the mountain and sometimes dips down as if to drink from the sea but always consistently present. The road is not biased and it does not choose sides. Its curves caress the mountain just as much as it hugs the sea. If it were not for this road one would not be able to experience sea nor mountain. This road does not simply cut across the mountain; its main purpose is to connect. Cars, scooters, lost pedestrians avoiding the former all flock to this road, not for the road itself but for what is surrounding it. Walking down this road late at night, I realized that because of its presence there, I too stood between the expansive sea and the mountain.
