Sometimes things look pretty ordinary
when you look straight at them.
I have heard it said that
Salvadore Dali would press
on the outside corners of his eyes
to change how he saw the world.
Reflections
provide another way of
viewing the world
around us.
Sometimes the reflection
is the complement
to the original.
Sometimes the reflection
is only a component
that stands in contrast
to the rest of a larger composition.
And sometimes the reflection
provides multiple views
that were not visible
from any other vantage point.
And every person is a reflection. That reflection is sometimes obvious and sometimes devious. Emerson wrote: Imitation is suicide. I agree. We are all unique reflections of who we are and who we aren't.
