In the tranquil moments of envisioning a cherished haven, the aim is not to revisit bygone memories but to rekindle the prevailing emotions that once embraced the soul. As the eyes close, the cacophony of the city recedes, allowing the whispers of overlooked sounds and the fragrance that lingers after raindrops kiss the grass to surface. The ethereal dance of fog unfolds, compelling tree branches to sway as if in a desperate plea for salvation from submersion. Gradually, the fog thickens, prompting the willing surrender of eyeglasses to reveal the intimate dance of elements.

A chill settles within, tenderly caressing the spirit with a love-laden breeze. It becomes a sensation with an essence uniquely one's own, a secret realm guarded from external gazes to preserve the sacred rituals of one's spirituality. A place shrouded in mystery, its profound significance known only to the seeker. Yet, the ability to recreate this exquisite seclusion is forfeited, as the seeker becomes intertwined with the very elements they once observed. The guardian angel, forsaking their lens, no longer perceives the unfiltered truth. Now, the seeker finds themselves ensnared by the essence itself.

For the artist, the mountain has perpetually served as a fount of hope and resilience. As a progeny of the mountain, the longing for that connection echoed through the written words during a period of absence. The revelation of its profound impact only dawned upon return after an extended hiatus. The symphony of silence, the enfolding mist, the crisp air unobtrusively bestowing its embrace—all became a poignant welcome, as if the rocks themselves extended their arms, whispering, 'Welcome back, the hiatus has been protracted.' This artful narrative yearns for the imminent reunion with the mountain, a space imbued with the ineffable beauty of shared existence
