You've never sat halfway up a mountain and just looked? The way everything spreads out below you... everything shaped by these huge forces over millions of years, not just the geological parts like the tectonic plates, but the little things like the wind moving soil around to build up layers of earth and birds passing over with the seeds from plants they've eaten until bare rock slowly becomes a forested valley full of life that found a way, somehow, to create itself. It's beautiful.
