Mysterious Faces of Mount Mong-o


Viewed from a distance, there are strange human faces  carved naturally on this side of the mountain.

Old woman and a young man..

Once you see the images, you seem to be seeing more..


.. and they would appear different each time

There was a story of a woman who suffered so much pain. She ended her agony on this cliff. She slid down onto a crag, and her soul may now be in a deep painless oblivion. Then.. a man on a drunken stupor fell as he ran blindly in the dark, slipping on the carpet of pine needles, then down the cliff into nothingness.

But when you find love, savor it.     Opening up one's self to the universe with it milieu of probabilities is liberating. There may be a hundred and one offerings. But we have to choose which one. To be, or not to be. To hold on, or to let go. Holding on meant getting stuck in one's comfort zone which may get bereft of insecurities and convert to pain. But if it is not for you, then letting go is sweet. You get washed up with myriads of feelings. It is like a beam of sunlight hitting a prism. From there would sprang all the colors of the rainbow. It makes one really happy with all its lightness ...
