You're a Mirror I Cannot Avoid

I got inspired to do a Photoshop art piece the other day.  A lot of the time when I do this kind of work I realize that my art can be strange.  I also realized that this is the kind of art I prefer.

This photograph was an unusual capture.  I happened to be riding shotgun when we came upon this truck that reflected the entire road behind us (we were in the white car on the side).  Sometimes I just luck out!

A reflection of an exact image is the closest thing to you-so that you can see it-but it's far enough away so that you really understand it. There is real life in this movie, but it hovers just an inch above reality.

For some people it's time for lots of reflection and changes in life. Many times in life we  go through a lot of pain and come out on the other side to know that the change becomes a new kind of adventure.  Here's to the beginning of freedom and remembering exactly who you are.

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.” Thomas Merton quotes (American and Trappist Monk t Our Lady of Gethsemani Abbey in Trappist, Kentucky, 1915-1968
