TODAY'S PHOTO -
tree reflections in Wakodahatchee Wetlands
Reflections are something that often capture my attention, as many of you know. Generally very calming, for me, this scene looks quite busy with all the breaking up of the images and, yet, there still is a feeling of peacefulness for me.
Part of it comes from the water itself and as much comes from the memories that surfaced for me of reflections seen on walks we used to take along the Weston Canal in New Jersey.
The only thing missing from this scene were the colors of the autumn leaves. As I reflected, further memories came up of time spent with a close friend on some of our meanderings along the canal.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
I invite you to spend some time reflecting this weekend. Look at scenes now and in the past for which you may have fond memories. What was it about them that brought you pleasure?
Are there people with whom you shared those experiences, perhaps people with whom you've not been in contact for a while? If so, and it's possible, I suggest that you reach out to that person or persons, and acknowledge them now as you recreate and share that experience and memory with them.
Have a peaceful, reflective weekend, rich in imagery and connections.
