[reinabeestudio]

i literally never heard of the moon and mountain dynamic and i am cutely asking you to elaborate further on it and how it works with heart gears Please 🙏

NERD MODE ENGAGE (long post incoming)

We're all familiar with the Sun/Moon dynamic. It's a classic in complimentary opposites ("if one moon, the other sun, if one blue, the other orange" etc).

So Mountain/Moon is like variant of sorts (?). Lemme explain. Today we will talk about symbolism 🤓👑

Mountains are often seen as majestic and legendary and even beautiful, but also feared due to how dangerous they can be (as in things to watch out for: wild animals, poisonous plants, possible rockfalls, etc). In some cultures, there are mountains that are respected and even treated as somethin sacred for one reason or another! It's something so imposing yet so gentle, full of life.

Meanwhile, what about the Moon? True, it's also big, but from our perspective it looks small. Always there, glowing and providing light in the middle of the dark night. Moving the tides. It helps many creatures in this world, big and small, terrestrial and aquatic. Yes, it's important for everyone—the light isn't her own, but doesn't make it less valuable. Even its different phases determine how living things interact with the world. Being cold is just part of its nature, it holds no malice. It's always there, for us. And it'll be for a long time, there's no need to think about it. Because it'll help you even if you forget it exists.

Unlike the Sun, you can admire the mountains and the Moon without hurting your eyes :v Both have sides that you can't see at first glance, but it's there for you to discover—if you're willing to learn more.

Also my romantic ass just loves photos where mountains and the Moon are captured together. There are perspectives that make the Moon as if it's like, next to the mountain. Or behind! Seeking refuge as morning approaches.

Alas at the end, she is still so far away...

Yet she will watch over the Mountain.

And he will always provide a shelter for the Moon.

Come what may.
