Spider Webs & Ant Hills
Nature can create more marvels than our minds could ever think of. Spider webs, and their intricate and magically floating structures.

Mountains
Mountains do not ask questions. Mountains do not ask the deer to live somewhere else and not on their skin. Mountains do not ask the clouds not to rain or ask the sun to shine brighter. Mountains do not move their internal rocks to be taller, bigger, grander. Mountains do not compete with their neighbors.…
