Don't you love the concept of reflection ?
As a noun, a verb, or an adjective ? This reflection of a tree in a pond,
during the rain , such a variation on the sheer reality of those branches ,
mediated by sunlight , the wind upon the water , the aspects of the tree
visible versus not visible .
Our reflection of the past, intimating a separate reality altogether, versus a recollection , or even a memory . More imbued w our subjective experience, perhaps.
Our reflection in a mirror, another imperfect variation on a theme, of how we appear to ourselves , to others, from which angle; in what light.
And then, there; Narcissus's reflecting pool, the vision of him captured by his own image , or whatever variation was present to him in that murky water , at that moment; that caught him and held him, it turns out , for time immemorial.
