The Earth is cylindrical, three times as wide as it is deep, and only the upper part is inhabited.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches.

In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance. — Osho [Chandra Mohan Jain]

As the skies appear to a man, so is his mind. Some see only clouds there; some, prodigies and portents; some rarely look up at all; their heads, like the brutes,' are directed toward Earth. Some behold there serenity, purity, beauty ineffable. The world runs to see the panorama, when there is a panorama in the sky which few go to see. — Henry David Thoreau
An iceberg is water striving to be land; a mountain, especially a Himalaya, especially Everest, is land's attempt to metamorphose into sky; it is grounded in flight, the earth mutated--nearly--into air, and become, in the true sense, exalted.
