Rock outcroppings are common among the mountain ranges around Tucson. Here's one view of sunlit stalwart stones that caught my attention on a recent morning walk.
This rock formation in the Tortolita Mountains might have a name. If so, I'm not aware of what that might be.
Mountains must be full of views like this that deserve the attention of a name, yet get lost in the multiplicity of so many views, so little time to name and categorize.
There must be a metaphor here. Our daily lives are full of good things -- high points, like warm words from a friend or spouse or child; or the feeling of a task completed; or a day that has been satisfying and full. One can't name and categorize all those times. But life, like mountains, is full of good views.
Perhaps it is enough to pause in daily life and know that the view is good. I'll take that for now.
