Great Brook Farm State Park, Massachusetts
Amidst the frozen drops of water, holding onto the blades of grasses,
twinkling as if trying to send a message...
And what would that message be ?
In this cold of winter, the Sun is still around, warming your hearts...

From this point on, the Sun begins to stretch our days in light.
Humans are absorbed in their humanity,

It all began 10,000 or so years back when glaciers were in retreat,
leaving behind the outwash of rocky debris to cover residual ice-blocks.
As the blocks melted, the outwash deposits above them slumped and formed kettles.
And those kettles with the bottoms below ground water level became kettle ponds,
clear and fresh, reflective of their glacial ancestry.
