Awe-inspiring country! Frosty glass. Splintering ice. Crystals glistening. Seat warmer enveloping  me in it’s caress. 26 degrees. Water lapping, roaring, beckoning and persisting. History. Ancient geologic events. Gliding forward in the safety of my rig with glacial swiftness. Hanging suspended in time between massive expanses of rock. A speck in the universe. Existing in the space between emptiness and bounty. What I see IS! Hearing myself. Feeling creativity and sensing the great beyond. Tears glistening for all lost, the present and all to come. Humility and purpose. Leaving a mark.
