Consider this: I live within the landlocked shadows
of Montana’s Big Belt Mountains, and yet the tallest mountain near me, Hogback,
standing 7813 feet above present sea level, is topped with limestone and seashell
fossils from an ancient ocean floor.
Consider this: the highest point on planet Earth,
the very peak of Mount Everest, is neither volcanic nor metamorphic stone. Standing amid the clouds at 29,000 feet above
present sea level, the peak is comprised of marine limestone thrust up from the
ancient sea where it first formed.
We are often upside-down in this life.
In our mountain ranges, the sea is locked in windswept
stone above us.
