Peaceful Hills
Being an inhabitant of a small town on the foothills of Orlické hory, I’ve had mountains watching over me ever since I was born. In this short blogpost, I would like to contemplate the meaning that mountains have to me and what role they play in my life. Thanks to my parents and their love…

Mountains, memories, and freedom

What Are Mountains to Me
I always knew why I deeply love the sea : this unstable and impulsive waters, cradle of life and savage storms. I always knew why I love the night sky, gazing into infinity and falling in the unstoppable great waltz of the universe. But what are mountains to me? The easy answer would be freedom or…

Memories Set in Stone
Mountains are memories eternal. None will ever come over their remnants to ponder who were the people that once inhabited them, for there never will be any remains.Mountains shall remain. And still, were that to happen, travelers would think of no people at all, for mountains are not the memories of any kind but of…
