  6. Glorious ice and snow meditation right to the Petticoat of tree root. How delicate your expression of Gwens fading. Love to you and to the receding ice as well as dear Gwen

  8. Beautiful poem of a post. Expecting those trees draped in flowing crystal frocks to slide across the ice together in a winter dance. (spent a piece of today looking at a book on the Arctic-loving the polar bears & ice).
