Nature's Possibilities

 

"Look at that river," he said, "Can you see it? Let's suppose that the water is time passing. If where we are now is the present, where do you think the future is located?"

I  thought for a moment. It seemed like an easy one. I gave the most obvious answer. "The future is where the water goes, down over there."

"Wrong!" my father declared, "Fortunately."

If the point at which you immerse yourself is the present, I thought that the past is the water that has flowed past you, that which has gone downstream and where there is nothing left for you, whereas the future is the water that comes down from above, bringing dangers and surprises. The past is in the valley, the future is in the mountains. This is how I should have replied to my father. Whatever destiny may be, it resides in the mountains that tower over us."   -  from, The Eight Mountains by Paolo Cognetti. 

The mountains bring the water for adventures. The view from a mountain top provides perspective and possibility to move into a flight or a flow.

Consider the mountains and what you have not thought about before, when making goals.
