Donovan based this on an old Zen proverb which stated, "First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is." I suppose it meant if you look at an obstacle long enough, it disappears from one's conscious self, so you can then surmount said obstacle when it reappears. That, or they had some damn good weed in the studio. The meter of the song is very free-form.
