It was Mother's Day 2014 when I wrote the post, Mother's Day Wishes Part II.

Here is the excerpt that I wrote about James Balog and his eye opening documentary, Chasing Ice.
It was while watching the documentary, Chasing Ice, that I recently thought about that young lady who came up to me after class. I broke down at the end when James Balog spoke about his efforts and how important it was to him to do what he could for his children as well as mine. Again, heartbreaking but real are the photographic facts that he showed us, much like the snapshots we’ve taken outside our own back door over the past ten years of a changing landscape.
Acknowledging these pictures are real, is a hard thing to do and I understand why some of my friends would not care to view this documentary. I also understand the predicament of humans who think they can live on a finite planet with infinite resources. Magical thinking is what got us here.
Today I watched his documentary from 2022, for the first time, Chasing Time...a must for everyone to watch.

It is truly magical thinking what got us here and now a taste of reality is what is needed ...though time is running out.
Thank you James and team for the perseverance ...I can't begin to imagine how you must feel.
