In ancient times, the wisest of the wise would sit atop the highest mountain. When looking for wisdom, the seeker would climb and climb upward until there stood, facing the provider of the answer to any question that could be thought and asked.
THE MOUNTAIN ON THE HILL reminds me that wisdom is parallel to aesthetics, to creativity, to being true to oneself. That said, I'm the sure the air was fresh and the outdoors experience was worth the effort of the climb.
