Reflection

Reflection

Brushed Silver & Aquamarine Brooch ~ Ariane Zurcher Jewelry

Sometimes what’s reflected is easier to see than the thing being reflected.  I wrote about this and the nature of  progress on my other blog, Emma’s Hope Book the other day.

EHB is the blog where I write about being a parent and autism and how my daughter has helped me see the world differently.  It’s ironic that her neurology, the thing so many believe to be a massive deficit – autism – has shown me a world far more beautiful than I ever dreamed or believed possible.

Reflection is like that sometimes.  We see things in a reflection that we might have missed were we to look directly.  Art and inspiration are like that too.

I took this photograph in Central Park this July 4th.  Had you asked me what the weather was like I would have told you – clear blue skies and hot, hot, hot.

“Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city”

Lyrics: Lovin Spoonful

Yet, I would have been wrong.
