the white in snow comes from the reflection and scattering of all wavelenghts of light as it hits countless borders between air-ice-air-ice-air. foamy water, and even steam is white for the same reason.
my first memory is of looking at a beautiful bird (parrot or macaw) and wanting to grab it. I was born in Ecuador, and moved from the house where we had the bird when I was one. so I know that I was younger than a year, and probably younger than 8 months since i remember reaching for it even though it was definately out of my grasp.
Another memory comes from getting on a bus or jeep with my mother, and feeling relief and comfort when we sat down - me on my mother's lap. this is a memory I've asked my mother about, and she can't recall any significant time this happened. so I was never TOLD about getting on a bus/jeep. i also remember sucking on a pacifier for the first time (after I was one, probably) and wondering where the liquid (saliva) came from since there was no source.
