Clouds and mountains

What do the clouds and mountains represent?

They represent permanence and transience.

Very good. But HOW do they represent permanence and transience?

I suspect my own answer but, sometimes, the clear path is the right path and so I will say that the mountains have been here eons whereas the clouds come and go in the time it takes to take a breath in and out.

You are standing too close to see clearly. Mere millions of years ago, the mountains were not here and they will be gone in another instant. But the clouds were here before the mountains and will be here when the mountains are only memories and dust.

You got me again, Master.
