Cold as Ice

A thought for the day: The subzero artic is considered a desert because of how little precipitation falls each year; it gets the same as places like the African Sahara. The amount of usable water is so limited, however the land is located under multiple feet of ice and snow. Acutal land is buried under these feet upon feet of frozen water! It has an overwhelming source of forms of the valuable water, but it (the climate and megafauna, etc--the ecology) does not have the resources to access that source in a way that would be usable. Because that ability is not there, that source is deemed virtually useless. How many times do I feel like that? That I may have the resources, talent or ability to do something, achieve something or try something, yet I lack the ability to access that resource is a useful way. Does personal fear work to hamper my use? Probably. But I'm waiting for my heatwave to come along. Or must I start it on my own? Bust out of my own ozone and melt out what I could be? I know I left an aerosol can of CFCs around here somewhere...
