careful consideration

why is it that a reflection

can speak to me

more loudly

than looking directly at the actual thing?

does the image being ‘once removed’ cut out the distractions and the glare,

paring it down to the essence which i can grasp more easily?

as my kids played with othello pieces

and jenga sticks under the

kitchen ceiling fan.
