Glacial Ice




The first memory I have is a visual one.

It is a vivid color.

It is glacial ice and it got into me through my eyes; apparently it's still there.

To date I haven't found a photo that exactly captures the intensity of what I caught a glimpse of, but these will give you a general idea. I was only just a little girl and we were on our way to Anchorage. It must have been an iceberg or some such. Whatever it was, it made such an impact on me that I can still see it when I close my eyes, as I have for the vast majority of my life. Whether that's a blessing or a haunting I'm not sure.
