reflection, where water becomes sky, where sky becomes water, where the mallard glides through the shimmer of trees and hills, where the love in our hearts mirrors the light in our souls.
“Down on the lake rosy reflections of celestial vapor appeared, and I said, “God, I love you” and looked to the sky and really meant it. “I have fallen in love with you, God. Take care of us all, one way or the other.” ― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
“Now folds the lily all her sweetness up, and slips into the bosom of the lake; So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip Into my bosom, and be lost in me.” —Tennyson
“I think that I am a reflection, like the moon on water. When you see me, and I try to be a good man, you see yourself.” —The Dalai Lama (quote from the film Kundun)

From a writer, book editor, and teacher who explores meditation and recovery and sensuality and strives to keep an open mind about things between. I would be honored to have you following!
