Reflections

Our world is replete with reflections: blurry copies of reality that, somehow, also provide a clearer view of overlooked details. See the reflection of an evening wood mirrored in a passing river, and notice the trunks of the trees, grouped together as if mimicking the congregation of a church. See the river grass as tiny spears of life bursting from the bank. Observe the wildflowers in the ripples of the water, and see how the colors swill, mix, and reform into delicate bursts of light. An evening wood is the perfect place to get lost in the reflections of the natural world and the inner self-reflections of thought.
