Ice does not always look like ice. I think of the origin myth, of the time when ice could burn. In those days, people had powerful words that when spoken could transport the speaker - home and all - to places where they could settle and find food. The saying of the words brought the place into existence. I wondered what words might have the power to carry people to a place of safety today?
