Week 31: "Reflecting Surfaces"

Week 31: "Reflecting Surfaces" 

Like seeing your shadow bouncing off a puddle or pool of water, the reflection of ourselves is always distorted.  No matter what direction you look the reflection constantly changes. It morphs sometimes into something that you don't recognize, or if you're lucky you get to see just brief glimmers of what is truly there.


As the water ripples underneath, it's ever changing.  We are never left with the same water reflecting back.   As each ripple of life comes through us, whether it be big or small, it changes us and never leaves us with the same person that started.  We as humans seem to have this thought that if there is going to be change it needs to big all at once, and "all or nothing" attitude.  If we were to just let the waves of change slowly ripple across us  wave by wave and at slower pace, we would see more of our true selves. We would finally see exactly what the world sees.  Sometimes the most beautiful thing in nature or in our world is the smallest and most understated subtlety of change.
