The reflection of Mary holding the baby Jesus appears

in the glass along with my friends,

a mother of three and a mother of four,

in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, New York.

This past winter had been hard on the trail.

There were many felled trees due to violent gusting winds.

Photo Memory: “First Bath on the Appalachian Trail” photographed by Nichole Hastings | Hiking

“It was a hot day and I hadn’t bathed for three days.  This spot on Nesouadnehunk Streams looked so inviting.  It was painfully cold.  I forced myself into it, scrubbed my skin and hair with sand while shaking uncontrollably.  The mountain fed stream was icy, I could hardly breathe, my skin stung and turned red.”
