Stillness of the ice

Reawakens heat inside

Power of the self

I love ice-swimming. It offers so many benefits - both for the body and the soul. You can read more about why I do it in my story The Plunge.

About the Creator

R.S. Sillanpaa

Why is it so hard to write about myself? That's where I get writer's block!

In short, I am a writer, dreamer, and a cancer survivor writing about a wide range of things, fiction and non-fiction, whatever happens to interest and inspire me.

    Yes, I see that - the power of the self held there.

  • That felt so empowering. Loved it!
