What Do You See?


While driving through the mountains, I find myself looking at the shapes and textures of the mountains to see what shapes I can make out. Sometimes I see a silhouette of a face or someone sleeping or even I think…maybe there are dinosaurs buried in those mountains. (LOL) Then my mind starts to wander and wonder how big the dinosaurs would be in comparison to the mountains. Then I start to envision the shapes of the dinosaurs and think that the shapes of the mountains are very similar. Then I laugh…

We drive a bit further and I focus on the mountain dead ahead and I can see the shape of a woman’s face and can see where the eyes would go, where the mouth would go, even where her nose is. We keep driving for another 5 minutes and take a slight turn in the road and that exact same mountain that I was staring at and seeing that woman’s face in has now completely transformed into something exponentially different.

I do a double take and blink my eyes a couple of time to ensure that I’m staring at the same mountain and low and behold I am; but I’m looking at something completely different. It’s amazing to me. I kind of feel like I’m staring at one of those pictures where they ask you if you see two faces or an hour glass…it’s the same picture but two different pictures.

As we continue to drive I am constantly reminded at every turn that it’s something completely new and can’t wait to see what the mountains have decided to share with me today. The next time you drive through the mountains, just stare at the mountains (don’t drive while doing this!) and see what lovely pictures the mountains are revealing for you.
