Love reading your thoughts about the glaciers. This is really eloquent, truthful and hope-filled. Conversing about our changing globe (via art, conversation, experience etc) is so important, but I can sometimes find it hard because the reality is scary. Thoughtful pieces like this help me breath in a little hope that as the world is changing, I can learn, grow and change with it. (and I love that you are a NASA nerd at heart so i can always expect some science).

More of the Ghost! Love her.

Another thought provoking piece of prose...........I love the bringing together of the "black" references...ash, rocks, spaces.....and then your ghostly creation to tie it all together. Well crafted Stasia.
