Struck by the pain of the ice and the rage of the water below that was forced to make room for the huge piece of frozen time, the glacier, trapped in a solid state for centuries, melting into the ocean and becoming one with its future. She feels small and insignificant in the face of such a display of nature. Garth Stein
About This Quote

To be trapped in even the smallest of lakes or ponds can turn out to be quite dangerous. The weight of all the water surrounding the trapped water creates an immense amount of pressure, which can be too much for the trapped water to withstand. This pressure can cause the ice bubble to burst, causing all sorts of harm to whoever or whatever is trapped inside. When our bodies are trapped in a state of life, we should use this opportunity to make sure that we are able to move forward with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
