The drifting mise en abyme
Snow dreams
The world is part of a Mise-en-abyme, a repeating story within a story, a scene within a scene.
The epicenter of change begins with what is in plain sight. When light is visualized, or seen, the brain connects colour to emotions associated with experiences. White light reflects all colours of the spectrum. In many countries white is worn during the time of mourning, in others it is associated with purity, innocence or sterile cleanliness that can cause calm or insanity.
White snowflakes form as individual water drops, with signature gases, acids, and dust, crystalize. Snow plows into polar ice and provides a temporal archive, that reveals past patterns of global climate changes over millions of years.
Recent climate changes cause fractured polar ice to fall, creating multiple resultant waves.
Snowflakes and a polar bear huddled on a diminishing piece of sea ice, are helpless as transpolar shifts occur.
Humanity, blindly drifting on the tip of the iceberg, traces the narrow corridors of atmospheric rivers. Globally, water circulates through the abyss between the poles following the path of least resistance. Water leaves the Arctic, moves along the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, then returns to the Arctic through the narrow Bering Strait.
Knowledge and skill hold transformational potential.
Scrutinizing conventions of time, place, and experience, transcendental dreamers shine their small bubble of light into the dark night, that engulfs all that is beyond, then they create transitional realities to mitigate risks. Hopefully, good snow dreams will come true.
