I Used To Be a Mountain
In I Used to Be a Mountain, Sterling Lambert reflects on impermanence, presence, and the paradox of life. Drawing on images of stardust, breath, and stone, he invites us to pause, listen deeply, and embrace change as the very essence of meaning. This piece is a reminder that beauty doesn’t come from perfection, but from the unfolding dance of becoming.
