Sunrise does not reschedule

Ледник Перито-Морено, Эль-Калафате, Аргентина

To start something new every day, everything has to be done on time. Sunrise does not reschedule. Either you came - or you were not there.

Perito Moreno taught me that in one morning. The light lives on the ice wall for exactly an hour, then leaves - and no plans, money or wishes will bring it back. I do not argue with nature’s timetable. I just get up earlier.

Up close the glacier is neither white nor smooth: a million sharp teeth to the horizon, blue in the cracks. From afar it seems frozen forever. In fact the glacier moves - two meters a day, every day, no weekends. Real movement does not look like fuss. Calm outside - movement inside.
