a preacher don't steal - 30. the teachings of reverend selim


by nick nelson

part thirty of 32



the mountain sees everything.

the mountain remembers everything.

slowly, the rain washes the mountain away.

the river flows to the sea.

the river remembers nothing.

but the river flows forever.

the bird flies over the mountain.

the bird does not wish to be the mountain.

the bird wishes to be the river.

flowing forever.

and remembering nothing.

the man walks along the river.

and sees the mountain in the distance.

it is difficult to climb the mountain.

which is crumbling under your feet even as you climb it.

and easy to walk along the river.

which flows forever.

to the deep blue sea.

the deep blue sea filled with monsters.
