Reflections can blind us to
what is UNDERNEATH, but look
closely to really know yourself

“Simplicity is a virtue in writing, true; but never the primary virtue. … Vividness is.”
—Dwight V. Swain

Ugly

I gaze upon my image. My face is split. Half is my reality; its skewed symmetry is my truth. My stoic facade fades across the dotted line. Insecurity blurs and pains my reflection like a Rorschach. The surgeon quotes, “I can fix that.”

'Anyone & everyone taking a writing class knows that the secret of good writing is to cut it back, pare it down, winnow, chop, hack, prune, & trim, remove every superfluous word, compress, compress, compress...'

Rosetta Yorke Upon reflection
A whole, new story
Very deep.
#turtlewriters

Rosetta Yorke Tranquility on a golden pond.

However, thinking about the Ukraine, and the Middle East, it might be the only , or last peaceful place.

Mankind may run to the moon, Mars, Ganymede, or beyond. But when we don’t learn to share goods, and live in peace, hostility remain haunting

Rosetta Yorke Perhaps, the plane of reflection could be undulating your real image, perhaps it could not show you, your strength and your confidence.
But remember it and ensure that, YOU always remain above that plane of reflection and above all that which is not real.
