Her Feelings

Like most people first visiting Antarctica, she was upset and depressed about the things that were happening there, the bleak landscape, cold, and being homesick. She felt like she was "losing her faith" even though she had been a strong believer in God. She also experienced a certainty amidst the morass of thoughts and emotions seething inside her mind. She realized that it was something that put everything else in true perspective. She felt as if she was realigning her vision of the world through a telescope.She found that the landscape was intact, complete, and larger than she could ever imagine. She also found that it didn't suffer famines or social unrest. "It was sufficient unto itself, untainted by the tragedy of the human condition"
