mountain - amber mattfield lyrics

[spoken word]
growing up in alaska, i was always surrounded by mountains
they were my loyal, silent friends
resting in the background of every scene of my childhood
however, it wasn’t until i moved out of state
and then returned to my hometown
that i realized the depth and the true significance that mountains had in my life
as a perfectionistic, control*freak i really struggle with execution of surrender
there are very few things that can actually override my anxiety
or my need to outperform or succeed
music is definitely one of them
but the other is spending time outdoors
there is
a mystery, a peace and a wonder
that invades when you really stop, stare, and scan a mountain from top to bottom
you realize just how small and insignificant you are
and how vast and untouchable this landscape is
it is only when you plug into or connect with something greater than yourself
that your true potential is finally activated
the revelation of one’s full potential is initially born out of the realization of one’s inadequacy
to put it plainly, in order to feel big, you must first realize that you are small
and to reach new heights, you must first start by being made low
mountains have also taught me a lot about resilience
they endure years and years of weather change and environmental dangers
and yet, their magnificence still remains
they don’t have to try to be beautiful
or prove themselves to the world
they just simply are
now if only we could be more like them in all areas of life
identity, self*worth, love, friendships, work, adversity, crisis, grief
the list goes on
one lesson i’ve learned over time is that the primary mountain in my life is god
in every ebb and flow of life, and even throughout my deconstruction, his love has not wavered
his bigness, if you will, has always had a way of reminding me just how small and powerless i am
and this is a very good thing
