We Are Like Glass

Looking_glass Like glass we reflect those things that are closest in proximity to ourselves, often unaware of our own reflection. The reflections of my daily life appear to be directly connected to those things I have chosen to draw near to myself. It may be passing shadows, inspiring landscapes or graceful beauty. Glass is unable to choose it's own reflection, it must reflect whatever is placed in it's path. On most days it's within my power to choose what is placed closest to my life, as well as choosing the duration that it remains there. Today I will take pause, a sober moment to consider what lies in my path, mindful that in some ways we are like glass.
