From the original post on Koffeemocha.

A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

At the Mer de Glace, the ice cave’s apparent permanence gives way to a different reality: a moving glacier requires a newly carved entrance each season. Machinery and protective coverings become part of the story.

The journey offers a way to think about continuity in work and life. A purpose can remain meaningful even when the route that once reached it has to change.

A reading note on the published post. The complete piece, photographs, and conversation are on Koffeemocha.
