I look at reflection in two ways.
One, I find gazing at a reflection mirrored in quiet water to be a moment that is restful, tranquil, and peaceful for my spirit.
The other way is in relationships.**
If someone is really annoying me, rather than judge, I’ve learned to take time, reflect and ask myself, ‘What behavior are they demonstrating? Are they mirroring a part of myself I don’t want to see?’ (They usually are!) By reflecting in this way, I have learned more about myself and developed compassion for how complicated each of us is.
This is why I treasure every one of my friendships.
**I’m dedicating this post and sending love to a dear friend, Carolyn.
