Having spent considerable time in both, here’s what I’ve discovered.
Mountains invite me to move. To be active. To walk or bike through them, to climb, hike, and commune with other climbers and hikers.
The ocean invites me to be still. To rest. To stand or sit at its edge and let its perpetual white noise soothe me, to notice the other creatures that live in and near it, and bask in my solitude.
Mountains and the ocean meet different needs of mine. So I’d be hard pressed to say I prefer one over the other.
