Certain images and metaphors stick in my head, to the point that they'll likely be there for as long as I'm aware of anything. One that has been around for years, and has been popping up more lately, is the idea that it's possible to tell people who've experienced... something inexpressible, incommunicable. Witches marks, mystic bones or organs: it all seems to come down to some look, some sense about a person who has "been to the mountain". I wonder if I would recognize that, were I to encounter it, and if I did, if it would matter. There are days I wonder if I have that look, and I'm torn between hoping/suspecting that I do, and hoping that I never do.

So, I've got witches marks. They're actually increasing in number, as time goes by, though I don't think that I'm doing anything to actually acquire more.

So, uh, do I look like I've 'been to the mountain'? I think I generally just look stressed out, which is not very wise or enlightened looking.

Hmm, I think I meant witch's marks in a different sense, but I suspect you probably guessed that ;)

There's something kinda fey about you, but I wouldn't say it's the mountain look; I might have to examine the subject more closely before saying more...
