At dinner the other night, I kept thinking of this Edith Wharton quote "There are two ways of spreading the light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." I think we all need to lift our game in spreading some light in the world.
I loved the purple vase but it's $495 price tag made it just an object to be admired. There are so many reflections in this shot. The more you look, the more you see - the vases, the lights, the buidlings over the road and of course, me!
"Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful" Margaret J. Wheatley.
It is really hard watching the unintended consequences (or maybe they are intentional) of some of the political decisions around the world. As we go into our own election, make sure greed doesn't cloud our judgement, because we all know who really benefits when when government funding is cut. It's not the general population or lower income tax brackets.
There is a faux reflection in the mural below. It made me smile.

Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI so agree about how hard it is to see what has been going on in the world lately. I was so disappointed to see our own election's outcome. More luck with yours!
Great reflections and a fun mural! Take care, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI like the reflections in the puddle. Like there's a whole other world there.
ReplyDelete...I love the cool cat and its glasses!
ReplyDeleteCleverly done mural!
ReplyDeleteA very nice mural!
ReplyDeleteThe mural is clever with the reflection on the glass shades. Great quotes, so hard to accept what's going on in the world... That glass vase is beautiful, but with that price, does it have some gold in it? Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Lydia.
