For the Sake of Science

Is there more beauty in the process or the result?

I’ve had this debate with a friend, and he believes its the result. I tend to disagree. When I stand atop Little Spencer mountain somewhere off in western Maine and I overlook the huge, flat swath of land and lakes between the mountain ranges, I cannot help but imagine the massive process of massive glaciers slowly navigating their destructive and forming ways through everything to sculpt what I now see. Just consider it. It took literally billions of years for that part of the earth to come together as I see it – and it will only stay that way for a brief moment.

I appreciate such gravity.
