We're All Metal Fans \m/ (x.x) \m/

High in the Mountains

Standing high in the mountains offers a fresh perspective on life. The grand views from the top can make our problems seem so small or unimportant. This perspective of life, the natural world, and the internal self is hard to beat. Even sitting or walking in a park for a few minutes can do good for us physically, emotionally, and mentally. So join Mark this week as he gets high....or travels upward...into the mountains. Not sure how to make that sound like travel instead of a marijuana reference!
