“Ice burns, and it is hard to the warm-skinned to distinguish one sensation, fire, from the other, frost.”

“ice contains no future , just the past, sealed away. As if they're alive, everything in the world is sealed up inside, clear and distinct. Ice can preserve all kinds of things that way- cleanly, clearly. That's the essence of ice, the role it plays.”
― Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

I always find it fascinating how sometimes a log will fall perfectly across a river, as to form a perfect bridge to the other side...

This area is quite surreal...a swampy patch with strange dead trees and tiny streams running all over the place.

“Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
― Robert Frost
