Ice/Land I

From the window of the boat, I had this vantage point: the ice was changing. In winter, between Helsinki and Tallinn, the Baltic was a sea of patterns, infinite in variety: taking on the form of Dutch polders, Euclidian triangles, a fractious river delta. Our understanding of how nature works is still unfolding, even as it rapidly changes.

Inland in Finland’s winter, water becomes ice, and ice (jää) becomes land (maa). This is true if you perceive it as so – ice as land – a belief based on experience, and trust. In reverse, land becomes water. This personally observed phenomenon is a shared global one. Our reference to experience is shifting like the ice, unsettling trust too. How can one remain open, curious and engaged in uncertainty? How can we build our understanding of the planet and humanity during times of change?
