I AM GLACIER

          I am Glacier.  I am the thermometer.

          I am Glacier.  I am a remnant of what once was.  I am a reminder of what might come.  I am a gauge of the planet.

          I am Glacier.  If all was in harmony, I would grow and decline at equal rates.  I would be in equilibrium.

          I am Glacier.  All is not in harmony.  My decline now far outpaces my growth.  I shrink moment by moment.

          I am Glacier.  I am part of a frozen world you do not understand.  But I am still a part of life.  The fact that you do not understand does not diminish me.

          I am Glacier.  I am diminished by your larger failure--your larger fear.  I am diminished by the dis-harmony resulting from your fear of acknowledging that all of Life is One.

          I am Glacier.  I am the thermometer that shows the fever of your dis-ease.
