Reflections are A Sometimes Thing

Reflections are like this, you sometimes can't see the real thing and you rely on the reflection for your guide.

I was back in New York recently and this reflection of a view through buildings to the Hudson river was the only view as our own building jutted out and we couldn't see past to the Hudson. But I knew this view existed and I loved this Dali-esque version of reality. It was quirky and shimmering.

Sometimes we are side-tracked by an illusion or reflection of a situation. But I believe this isn't a bad diversion. Sometimes, in order to not see the real thing as it might be too painful, we create a positive view. The beauty of creating positive illusions is that sometimes they do become our reality.

This reflection was in Boston on a Trolley ride, in 2009. It is my reminder that the day was sunny and the sky was blue. My remembrance of the day Is a happy one.

So here's to happy reflections and shimmering hopes.
